1973 Map of Scarecrow Peak

About this map

Scarecrow Peak dominates the northeastern corner of this arid landscape where the border between Utah and Nevada cuts through the desert. The 1973 survey shows a sparse network of Jeep Trail routes traversing the Tule Springs Hills, tracing the drainage patterns of Bull Valley Wash and Catclaw Wash. Water management and natural springs are the primary indicators of activity in this remote region, evidenced by Lower Lime Mtn Well and Snow Spring. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the Terry Benches and the more defined canyon systems of Beaver Dam Wash and Indian Canyon. The map provides a precise look at the topographical challenges of the Great Basin, where seasonal washes like Little Bull Valley Wash and Horse Canyon carve deep through the limestone and volcanic layers of the high desert.
