About this map

The Beaver River and its managed waterways anchor this 1971 study of the high desert terrain north of the Beaver Co and Iron Co border. Agricultural infrastructure is clearly defined through the Aberdare Canal and Barton Ditch, which channel water toward the Greenville Bench. North of the South Hills, the Beaver Municipal Airport sits on a plateau surrounded by various water sources, including Morris Pond and Patterson Creek.

A network of rugged trails, many marked as Jeep Trail, provides the primary access into the elevated southern terrain. Names like California Hollow, Shannon Hollow, and Negro Hollow segment the landscape, reflecting a history of local navigation and land use. The presence of features such as Jims Reservoir and Howards Pond tucked into these hollows suggests a reliance on small-scale water catchment in this arid environment.
