About this map

Blueacre sits at the intersection of high desert basins and mineral-rich uplands in this modern survey of Beaver County. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several major landforms, including the southern reaches of the Beaver Lake Mountains and the eastern slopes of the San Francisco Mountains. Between these heights, the landscape is shaped by drainage patterns like Carbonate Gulch and the extensive The Big Wash, which carries seasonal runoff toward the The Big Wash Reservoir.

Water sources are infrequent but critical in this arid environment, marked by sites such as Coyote Spring and Hickory Wash. The southern edge of the map begins to climb into the Star Range, illustrating the complex topography that has long drawn interest for its geological potential. This 2020 edition provides a clear view of the contemporary road network and land management boundaries as they overlay the natural landmarks of the Escalante Desert region.
