2014 Map of Halfway Summit

About this map

Halfway Summit stands as a central topographic marker in this desert landscape, where the Millard Co Beaver Co line divides the high-altitude terrain. The 2014 survey reveals a sparse network of water sources essential for survival in this arid region, including Beers Tunnel Spring and the Upper Pine Spring located near the base of the ridges. Transport through the area is largely dictated by the natural geology, with Ut-21 and various unnamed tracks winding around the Halfway Hills and through Beers Pass. Distinctive geological formations like The Needles and The Toad characterize the southwestern portion of the quadrangle, suggesting a landscape shaped by significant erosion. The mapping of Cottonwood Wash further illustrates the drainage patterns that define this interior basin environment between Antelope Valley and Pine Valley.
