About this map

The Escalante Desert dominates the northern reaches of this Millard and Beaver County borderland, revealing a landscape defined by its hydrology and high desert terrain. Water sources are critical features in this arid environment, evidenced by a concentration of named springs including Douglas Spring, Bardsley Spring, and Smith Spring located near the base of Lime Mtn. The presence of the Brownfield Tunnel Spring and nearby Brownfield Canyon suggests localized land use and development tied to these vital water points.

To the east, the Beaver River winds through the area, creating the low-lying Beaver Bottoms. This contrast between the flat desert expanse and the structured topography of Badger Knolls illustrates the varied physical geography of the eastern Great Basin. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural landmarks and the geopolitical boundary between Millard and Beaver counties during the early 21st century.
