2020 Map of Picacho Peak

About this map

The Star Range defines the high ground of this Beaver County landscape, where the settlements of Shauntie and Shenandoah City sit among the mineral-rich canyons. The terrain transitions from the heights of Picacho Peak and Topache Peak down into the northern reaches of the Escalante Desert. Water is a critical and sparse resource here, marked by isolated points like Wheeler Spring and Windhouse Spring, along with the Moscow Reservoir located near Moscow Wash. The network of canyons, including Elephant Canyon, Mammoth Canyon, and Moscow Canyon, illustrates a complex drainage pattern that has historically influenced travel and settlement in this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the Shauntie Hills and the winding Shauntie Wash, offering a clear picture of the topography that shaped local mining and ranching interests in the western Utah desert.
