2017 Map of High Rock

About this map

The Little Frisco Mountains and the northern reaches of the Beaver Lake Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Millard and Beaver Counties. This 2017 survey shows a region defined by its vital water sources and topographic passages, such as High Rock Pass and High Rock. The network of canyons, including Sawmill Canyon and Morehouse Canyon, suggests historical pathways through the mountains, while named water features like Three Kilns Spring, High Rock Spring, and James Spring provide evidence of the scattered resources necessary for ranching or travel in this arid environment. The map also captures the southeastern slopes of the San Francisco Mountains, reflecting the rugged transition between these distinct Great Basin ranges.
