2017 Map of Pinto Spring

About this map

The Indian Peak Range dominates this section of the Iron and Beaver County border, where a network of seasonal water sources sustained early high-country activity. The map reveals a cluster of named springs and drainage basins that defined the local geography before modern water management, including Merrills Camp Spring and the curiously named Big Basket Spring and Little Basket Springs. These features, along with several others like Pinto Spring and Arrowhead Spring, indicate a landscape where every reliable water source was historically significant for land use and navigation.
