2011 Map of Gillies Hill

About this map

Fortune Mine and Harris Mine anchor the industrial history of this Beaver County landscape, where mineral extraction once defined the local economy within the high desert terrain. The area is characterized by a network of drainage features and basins, including Fortuna Canyon and Little Basin, which cut through the prominent Bald Ridges and Maple Flats. In this early 21st-century record, the landscape is dotted with essential water sources like Cowboy Spring and Wiregrass Spring, critical markers for both historical livestock grazing and early mining operations. The central geographic features, Gillies Hill and Cunningham Hill, stand above the dry washes and hollows, while the southern reaches transition into the Wildcat Fields. This survey reflects the enduring infrastructure of rural Utah, showing how local roads like Manderfield Rd and Poleline Rd navigate the complex topography of the Hogback and Fourmile Ridge.
