2023 Map of Read

About this map

The Beaver River winds through the lowlands of the Beaver Bottoms, marking the transition into the eastern edge of the Escalante Desert. This arid landscape is bisected by the county boundary between Millard and Beaver counties, a line that passes near the small settlement of Read. The terrain is characterized by a sparse, utilitarian road network including S 23500 West St and W 17300 South St, reflecting the wide-open spacing of this high-desert region. Further south, the map identifies Murdock, another small waypoint located along the river valley. The presence of Cove Creek in the north suggests the seasonal water patterns that have long dictated human settlement and ranching boundaries in this part of southwestern Utah.
