2017 Map of Sewing Machine Pass

About this map

Wah Wah Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Beaver County, providing a stark topographical divide between Pine Valley to the west and the Wah Wah Valley to the east. This 2017 topographic study highlights the critical importance of water management and natural springs in an arid environment, where localized features like Kiln Spring and Gun Spring represent vital resources. The presence of Blackburn Ditch in the southwest suggests a history of water diversion for agricultural or livestock purposes, while the aptly named The Mudhole marks a low collection point in the basin floor. Sewing Machine Pass serves as a primary transit point through the mountain range, connecting these two expansive valleys. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including townships like t27s r15w, overlays the complex terrain of Corral Canyon, illustrating the modern management of these public lands.
