About this map

Milford serves as a vital hub in the high desert of Beaver County, situated where the Beaver River and Hickory Wash meet the eastern edge of the Escalante Desert. The town's grid is clearly defined by arterial routes like W Center St and Co Rd 129, while the Milford City Cem and the Milford Municipal Airport/Ben and Judy Briscoe Field anchor the local geography.

Surrounding the settlement, the landscape is defined by dramatic topographic features including the Rocky Range at the center and the Star Range to the southwest. Water management is evident through the presence of the Big Wash Reservoir, Lower Big Wash Reservoir, and W Point Reservoir, which provide essential resources for this arid region. Distinctive landmarks such as the peak of Mollies Nipple and the northern Beaver Lake Mountains offer significant orientation points for anyone studying the historic land use and settlement patterns of this Utah corridor.
