2014 Map of Ranch Canyon

About this map

Escalante Desert terrain meets industrial development on this 2014 survey of Beaver County. Modern energy infrastructure is a defining characteristic of the landscape, marked by Wind Farm Rd, First Wind Rd, and Geothermal Plant Rd, reflecting the region's 21st-century economic shifts. The northern reaches of Milford are visible in the southwest, while the historic agricultural reliance on the Beaver River is evidenced by the extensive irrigation network including the High Line Canal and Low Line Canal. The map transitions from the flat desert floor near Beaver Bottoms and Yellow Banks into the rising elevations of the eastern foothills where Ranch Canyon and Corral Canyon are located. This document provides a clear record of the intersection between traditional water management and contemporary renewable energy projects in the Great Basin.
