2020 Map of Cat Canyon

About this map

Cricket Mountains dominate the western terrain of this Millard County landscape, where deep drainages like Cat Canyon and Headlight Canyon cut through the high ground. The area's hydrology is defined by the ephemeral Beaver River as it traverses the southeastern corner, supported by water management features such as Cat Canyon Reservoir and Georges Reservoir. High-elevation crossings including Cedar Pass, Red Pass, and Georges Pass provide the primary transit points between the distinct basins of Big Sage Valley and Georges Valley. This survey captures a remote section of the eastern Basin and Range province, illustrating how topography dictates movement and water storage in an arid environment. The map provides clear evidence of the livestock and water infrastructure essential for land use in this part of the Great Basin.
