2017 Map of Rex Peak

About this map

Rex Peak dominates the high ground in this 2017 survey of the border region between Rich County, Utah and Lincoln County, Wyoming. The terrain is defined by the steep slopes of the Crawford Mountains, which fall away to the west into a complex network of agricultural water management. The course of the Bear River is shadowed by the Beckwith and Quinn Canal, the Mcminn Canal, and the Crawford Thompson Canal, illustrating a landscape heavily modified for irrigation. Local landmarks such as Brazier Canyon, Coal Hollow, and Red Eye Basin suggest the area's history of ranching and resource extraction, connected by primitive routes like Mine Rd. This survey captures the contrast between the high summits and the engineered water systems that sustain the valley below.
