2012 Map of Docs Pass

About this map

Julius Peak and Pine Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape along the border of Nevada and Utah, where the terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages and mountain crossings. The network of canyons, including Cougar Canyon and Docs Pass Canyon, suggests a challenging environment historically navigated through specific transit points like Docs Pass, Cattle Pass, and Middle Pass. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid high-country, marked by features such as Oak Spring, Ash Spring, and the uniquely named Water and Ice Falls near Sheep Canyon. Human presence is sparse, indicated by Holts Cabin and the lone Beaver Dam Rd. The presence of the Middle Ridge Exclosure and Ash Spring Exclosure points to modern land management and conservation efforts within the basin and range geology.
