2017 Map of Cave Canyon

About this map

Minersville sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the agricultural plains meet the rising slopes of the Mineral Mountains. The area's complex irrigation history is visible through a network of waterways including the High Line Canal, Low Line Canal, and Trans River Canal, which draw from the Beaver River to support the valley's farms. Moving east, the terrain climbs sharply into high peaks like Bradshaw Mtn and Yellow Mtn, dissected by deep drainage features such as Cave Canyon and Herb Eyre Hollow. This transition from managed water systems to high-desert mountains defines the region. Dozens of remote water sources are documented throughout the highlands, including Griffith Spring, Jimmy Jones Spring, and Shearing Corral Spring, which likely supported local livestock and ranching operations. Roads like The Pass Rd and Upper Ranch Canyon Rd provide the primary access into these higher elevations.
