About this map

Minersville Reservoir dominates the high desert landscape where the southern reaches of the Mineral Mountains meet the northern edge of the Black Mountains. This arid transition zone is defined by essential water management features, including the Aberdare Canal and the flow of the Beaver River. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Chalk Hollow and Rocky Ford Hollow, revealing a topography shaped by seasonal runoff and irrigation needs.

Local landmarks provide specific points of reference for those tracing historical land use or hunting for specific topographical markers like Blue Ribbon Summit and Mahogany Knoll. Natural water sources, critical in this environment, are represented by Stewart Spring, Big Maple Spring, and the curiously named The Seeps. The map also captures the crossing of the Beaver Co Iron Co line, providing a clear boundary between these two southern Utah jurisdictions.
