About this map

Frisco Peak serves as the high point of the San Francisco Mountains in this desert landscape of western Utah. The terrain drops sharply from the mountains into the arid Wah Wah Valley, where the expansive Wah Wah Valley Hardpan and Wah Wah Wash dominate the lower elevations. This survey captures a remote region defined by its critical water sources, which were essential for ranching and mining operations in the high desert.

Several isolated springs are documented along the mountain slopes, including Pitchforth Spring, Crystal Spring, and Horse Spring. To the south, the Indian Queen Reservoir and Barrel Spring Canyon indicate efforts to manage the scarce water flow in this unforgiving environment. The map also delineates the boundary between Millard Co and Beaver Co, providing a clear record of administrative divisions across this mountainous divide in the early 21st century.
