2011 Map of Gleason Basin

About this map

The Hermitage sits as the central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of the Nevada-Utah borderlands, where the terrain transitions between the namesake Gleason Basin and the higher elevations of White Rock Peak. The area is defined by its seasonal water sources, which were vital for livestock and early ranching, including the cluster of Milk Ranch Springs, Whiskey Spring, and the curiously named Lone Trough Spring. Drainages like Picketts Wash and Sawmill Creek cut through the arid basins, suggesting a history of resource extraction or grazing management. The presence of Johnson Rd and the Hermitage road indicate the primary routes of access through this remote section of Beaver County, connecting the scattered springs and basins like Alexander Basin to the wider region.
