2014 Map of Scarecrow Peak

About this map

Scarecrow Peak dominates the northeastern landscape of this high-desert region, where the state boundary between Nevada and Utah cuts through a complex system of washes and canyons. The terrain transitions from the elevated Tule Springs Hills in the southwest toward the drainage basins of Bull Valley Wash and its tributary, Little Bull Valley Wash. Local navigation is defined by unpaved tracks such as Bull Valley Rd and Snow Spring Rd, which provide access to the remote Terry Benches. This area reflects a classic Great Basin drainage pattern, where seasonal runoff through Snow Spring Wash and Guy Wash has carved deep incisions like Catclaw Canyon and Horse Canyon. The map reveals the sparsely settled nature of the Lincoln and Washington County borderlands, emphasizing topographic landmarks and the network of dry washes that define the movement of water across the arid landscape.
