About this map

Scarecrow Peak dominates the high ground of this arid borderlands region, where the state line between Nevada and Utah meets the boundary of Lincoln and Washington Counties. The landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage channels, including Snow Spring Wash in the west and Bull Valley Wash in the southeast. These washes have carved significant geological features into the terrain, such as Horse Canyon, Catclaw Canyon, and Indian Canyon.

Evidence of the region's topographical transition is found at the Terry Benches and the Tule Springs Hills, which suggest a varied elevation profile typical of the Great Basin's eastern edge. The map captures the remote character of this intersection in the late 2010s, showing a territory primarily organized by township and range lines with no significant modern settlements, emphasizing the wilderness value of the Little Bull Valley Wash drainage system.
