About this map

Lime Mountain and the surrounding high desert terrain in Beaver County define this area of intensive mineral exploration and geological study. The landscape is marked by a dense network of mining features, including the Copper Mountain Mine and an Open Pit Mine, alongside numerous Mine Shafts and scattered Prospects. These industrial markings contrast with the natural water sources that have long served this arid region, such as Douglas Spring, Bardsley Spring, and Smith Spring.

Tracing the eastern edge, the Beaver River flows through the broad Beaver Bottoms, providing a stark topographical shift from the elevated Badger Knolls. Notable for local history and geology, the map records subterranean works like the Brownfield Tunnel near Brownfield Canyon. The boundary between Millard and Beaver County is clearly delineated, crossing an open landscape where a prominent Transmission Line now cuts across the traditional terrain.
