About this map

Indian Peak and the high ridges of the Indian Peak Range dominate the southwestern corner of this Beaver County landscape. The area is defined by its network of vital water sources and drainage patterns, including Buckhorn Spring and the seasonally active Antelope Wash. These landmarks provided essential reference points for early surveyors and travelers through the high desert.

Evidence of the region's topography is found in distinctive formations like Elephant Back and the wide expanse of Pine Valley to the northeast. Historical drainage routes such as Indian Cr and Commissary Cr carve through the basin, supported by numerous springs including Vahce Spring, Meadow Spring, and the tiered Upper Indian Spring and Lower Indian Spring. The map clearly delineates the township and range lines, illustrating the 19th-century grid system used to organize this western territory.
