2014 Map of Lopers Spring

About this map

The Mountain Home Range dominates this portion of Beaver County, where high-elevation desert terrain is defined by a critical network of water sources. The presence of Lopers Spring, Garnet Spring, and Cougar Spring suggests the essential nature of these points for livestock and wildlife in an otherwise arid landscape. Moving south, a series of seepages including North Sulphur Spring and South Sulphur Spring drain toward the lower elevations. The map reveals a land utilized for range, connected by the solitary Lopers Spring Rd which winds through Spike Hollow. Notable topographic landmarks such as The Needles and Cottonwood Wash provide distinct navigational points for those retracing historical grazing routes or surveying the interior of the Great Basin.
