2020 Map of Scarecrow Peak

About this map

Scarecrow Peak dominates the high desert terrain of the eastern Basin and Range, standing near the state line where Nevada and Utah meet. This 2020 survey records a landscape defined by complex drainage systems and arid plateaus. Waterways like Snow Spring Wash and Bull Valley Wash carve through the basin floor, while the southern reaches are marked by the broad elevation of the Tule Springs Hills. Local topographic landmarks such as Terry Benches and several distinct canyons, including Catclaw Canyon and Indian Canyon, illustrate the erosional patterns of this high-altitude environment. The lack of permanent structures emphasizes the remote nature of this boundary region, preserved here in precise topographic detail for those studying the physical geography and land divisions of Washington County.
