2017 Map of Ranch Canyon

About this map

Escalante Desert terrain meets the irrigated agricultural margins of Beaver County in this contemporary topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from the arid flats of the Beaver Bottoms and Yellow Banks to the rising elevations of Ranch Canyon and Corral Canyon in the east. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Low Line Canal and High Line Canal which parallel the southern reach of the Beaver River. While the main settlement of Milford sits at the southwestern edge, the map also identifies Murdock to the north. Transportation across this sparsely populated region relies on established routes like Lower Ranch Canyon Rd, Upper Ranch Canyon Rd, and The Pass Rd, which provide access through the complex canyon topography and desert basins.
