2010 Map of Miners Cabin Wash

About this map

Indian Peak Range defines the high ground of this western Utah landscape, where a history of subsistence and extraction is written into the terrain. The presence of the Blue Jay Mine and the Mackleprang Homestead suggests a 20th-century reliance on the land's sparse resources, centered around water sources like Ryan Spring and Chokecherry Spring. The drainage network, including Miners Cabin Wash and Hamlin Valley Wash, dictates the movement across this arid region. Distinctive landmarks such as Marys Nipple and Indian Peak provide clear points of reference for those navigating the canyons and washes, while the survival of named homesteads and mines offers a specific point of interest for researchers tracing the occupation of Beaver County's more isolated corners during this era.
