2023 Map of Lopers Spring

About this map

The Mountain Home Range and Indian Peak Range dominate this high-desert landscape in Beaver County, Utah. The terrain is defined by a series of critical water sources that would have been essential for early western surveyors and livestock operations, including Lopers Spring, Cougar Spring, and the clustered North Sulphur Spring, Sulphur Spring, and South Sulphur Spring. These springs are often found at the edge of significant drainage systems like Cottonwood Wash and Jackson Wash. The presence of named features such as Spike Hollow and Cowboy Spring suggests a history of local land use and transit through these high basins. This recent survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise topographic record of the gaps and peaks that characterize this part of the Great Basin.
