About this map

The Nevada Utah state line bisects this high-desert landscape, where the Clover Mountains dominate the northern terrain. In the eastern portion, within Washington County, the protected expanse of the Doc's Pass Wilderness preserves a network of steep drainages including Horse Canyon and East Bunker Peak Wash. This area is defined by its critical water sources, from the isolated Bracken Pond to the named flows of Rueben Spring and Betsy Spring.

Settlement is sparse, centered primarily on the small community of Motoqua near the eastern edge. The map captures a sophisticated hydrologic system of ephemeral washes, such as Cedar Wash and the East Fork Beaver Dam Wash, which drain the arid peaks. This modern survey provides a clear view of the complex land divisions where the t7s r71e and t8s r71e townships meet the state boundary, illustrating the intersection of federal wilderness preservation and rural Utah life.
