2020 Map of Cave Canyon

About this map

The Mineral Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Beaver County region, where high peaks descend into the expansive Escalante Desert. This desert environment is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure designed to manage the flow of the Beaver River, including the High Line Canal, Low Line Canal, and Trans River Canal. These systems demonstrate the vital role of water engineering in sustaining life and agriculture in Utah's arid basins. Tucked into the foothills and canyons are numerous water sources and topographic landmarks with specific local history value, such as Griffith Spring, Jimmy Jones Spring, and Herb Eyre Hollow. The transition from the steep elevations of Bradshaw Mtn and Yellow Mtn to the flatlands of the desert reveals the distinct geological and cultural boundaries of the area, as seen in the scattered ranch roads and canyons like Guyo Canyon and Cave Canyon.
