About this map

Mining operations along the Star Range define the northern reaches of this Beaver County landscape. Prospects like the Maud- S Mine, Vicksburg Mine, and GoldCrown Mine mark the mineral-rich slopes west of the Beaver River. This river corridor supports a network of agricultural roads and irrigation features, including the Trans River Canal and the watering hole at Tadpole Spring.

Scattered settlements and landmarks suggest a rural economy anchored by small hubs such as Upton, Cook Corner, and the southern outpost of Laho. The terrain transitions from the distinct peak of Mollies Nipple to the broad, flat expanse of Milford Flat. Transport is facilitated by the Beryl Milford Rd, while the Flying M Ranch Airport serves as a modern waypoint in this desert valley, where the hydrology of Hay Springs and Sand Pond provides critical water in an otherwise arid basin.
