About this map

Beaver Dam State Park anchors the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape where the border of Nevada and Utah meets. The terrain is defined by the Clover Mountains, where significant peaks like Julius Peak and Bunker Peak rise above a network of canyons and washes. Water sources are critical markers here, including Oak Spring, Middle Pass Spring, and Ash Spring, which would have been vital landmarks for anyone navigating the Jeep Trail networks through Docs Pass or Middle Pass.

The drainage of Beaver Dam Wash carves through the central portion of the map, leading to the dramatic narrowing known as The Narrows. This area shows a transition from high mountain ridges like Middle Ridge to deep drainage systems like Deep Canyon and Doe Canyon. Human presence is evidenced by isolated mining prospects and specialized ecological management sites such as the Middle Ridge Exclosure and Ash Spring Exclosure, reflecting the region's mid-century role in both resource extraction and conservation.
