About this map

Pine Valley occupies the heart of this landscape, a high-elevation basin defined by its drainage systems and water management infrastructure. Water is the primary shaper of human activity here, evidenced by a series of catchment features such as Chamisa Reservoir, Central Pine Reservoir, and the Red Cove Reservoir in the southeast. These reservoirs, along with the CCG Reservoir, suggest a concentrated effort to manage seasonal runoff from the surrounding uplands for livestock or land use in this arid pocket of Beaver County.

The terrain is dissected by numerous drainage channels including Jackson Wash to the north and the prominent Antelope Wash, which carves through the lower half of the quadrangle. Transport through the area is anchored by Pine Valley Rd, which runs north-to-south through the valley floor. The inclusion of Blackburn Ditch in the eastern section further highlights the historical and ongoing importance of water diversion in this remote section of the Utah interior.
