About this map

The San Francisco Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape, rising abruptly from the eastern edge of the Wah Wah Valley. This 1989 edition documents a region defined by its industrial history and arid geography, featuring a concentration of mining activity along the eastern slopes. Evidence of the area's mineral extraction is prominent near Sawmill Canyon, where the Golden Reef Mine is located alongside several Kilns, Adit entries, and Drill Holes. Further south, the Indian Queen Mine and various Mine Shafts indicate the extent of local silver or lead prospecting.

Water management in this desert environment is carefully recorded, from the Indian Queen Reservoir to numerous named water sources like Pitchforth Spring and Morehouse Spring. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Frisco Peak Radio Facilities and a Radio Tower atop the range's highest points. The map also captures the Indefinite Boundary marking the border between Millard Co and Beaver Co as it traverses the Hardpan flats.
