About this map

The Mountain Home Range dominates this corner of Beaver County, defining a high-elevation landscape characterized by seasonal drainages and vital water sources. The complex terrain includes the distinctive geological formations of The Needles in the northeast and the deep incision of Spike Hollow. A network of dry washes, including Cottonwood Wash and Jackson Wash, provides a blueprint for the movement of water across this arid environment during runoff events.

Water security in this high country is marked by numerous named springs, which served as critical landmarks for early surveyors and range riders. Notable sites such as Lopers Spring, Cougar Spring, and Cowboy Spring are documented alongside the curiously named Sulphur Spring South Sulphur Spring. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of the Utah backcountry, where named water features and significant peaks remain the primary markers of human orientation and survival.
