About this map

The Little Frisco Mountains and Beaver Lake Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Millard and Beaver Counties. This 2014 survey reveals a network of vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment, including James Spring, High Rock Spring, and Three Kilns Spring. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at High Rock Pass and within the steep walls of Sawmill Canyon and Morehouse Canyon.

Surface transportation is limited to a few established tracks like 3 Kilns Spring Rd and Frisco Peak Rd, which provide access through the rugged foothills of the San Francisco Mountains. The map serves as a record of land management and natural resources, pinpointing isolated landmarks like High Rock that have likely served as navigational waypoints for generations of travelers and livestock managers in this part of southwestern Utah.
