About this map

The Crawford Mountains dominate the high ground along the interstate boundary between Rich County, Utah, and Lincoln County, Wyoming. This arid upland landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management systems, including the Beckwith and Quinn Canal, McMinn Canal, and Rex Canal, which divert the Bear River to support agriculture in the lower elevations. The intricate network of irrigation reflects a long-standing reliance on the river to sustain the high desert ranching economy.

Local landmarks like Rex Peak and the drainage of Brazier Canyon provide clear reference points for those tracing historical land use or topographic surveys in the region. Hidden within the draws are vital water sources such as Larson Spring and Brazier Spring, while larger geographic features like Red Eye Basin and Twin Hollows illustrate the varied terrain of the mountain range's eastern and western flanks.
