2017 Map of Frisco SW

About this map

The Wah Wah Mountains dominate this high-desert region of Beaver County, Utah, providing a stark topographical contrast to the neighboring Wah Wah Valley. This 2017 study details an arid landscape where water management is central to the human and animal footprint, evidenced by the strategic placement of the Grover Wash Reservoir, Brimstone Reservoir, and Miners Hill Reservoir. Seasonal watercourses like Quartz Cr and Willow Cr descend from the high ground, while the Willow Cr Spring serves as a critical permanent water source in an otherwise parched environment. The map highlights the complex drainage systems and washes, including Grover Wash and the Wah Wah Wash, that define the geological character of this Great Basin terrain.
