2020 Map of Read

About this map

Beaver Bottoms and the winding course of the Beaver River define the western portion of this landscape at the edge of the Escalante Desert. The terrain transitions from these river lowlands into the vast, open desert plains, marked by drainage features such as Negro Mag Wash and Cove Cr. This 2020 map documents the rural infrastructure connecting the isolated settlements of Read and Murdock, which are situated along the north-south transport corridor. The boundary between Millard Co and Beaver Co bisects the area, highlighting the jurisdictional divide in this arid basin. The map illustrates a grid of secondary roads, including W 17300 South St and S 23500 West St, that service the scattered outposts and agricultural operations clinging to the river’s drainage system.
