About this map

The Indian Peak Range dominates this portion of the high desert along the border of Beaver and Iron Counties. Water sources define the human and natural geography of this arid landscape, marked by numerous named springs such as Pinto Spring, Big Basket Spring, and the remote Merrills Camp Spring. These reliable water points likely served as vital stops for travelers and ranchers moving through the basin-and-range territory.

A network of primitive roads and drainage-following paths like Cougar Spar Rd and Atchison Creek Rd navigate the complex topography. The map details the seasonal flow of Pinto Cr and Cottonwood Cr, illustrating how the drainage patterns converge toward the Pinto Springs Loop. This survey provides a precise look at the land division and natural resources of southwestern Utah in the early 21st century.
