2020 Map of Jarvis Peak

About this map

The Beaver Dam Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Utah and Arizona, where the arid environment is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The Mojave Desert influences the western portion of the map, marked by prominent high points such as Jarvis Peak, Tabeau Peak, and the Bulldog Knolls. Local water management is evident through the presence of Quail Reservoir and Mine Valley Reservoir, which capture runoff from the surrounding slopes. Transportation history is preserved in the path of W Old Highway 91, a primary route cutting through the northern section. This survey details the complex topography of the Cedar Pockets and various washes, including Castle Cliff Wash and Cottonwood Wash, illustrating how water has carved the terrain over time.
