About this map

Tecoma sits at the heart of the Tecoma Valley on the border of Nevada and Utah, serving as a primary point of reference in this high-desert basin. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the valley floor to the prominent peaks of the Pilot Range to the east, including Bald Eagle Mountain and Copper Mountain. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Dake Reservoir Dam and Jackson Dam situated along Thousand Springs Creek.

Smaller settlements and homesteads like Pearson Ranch and Tuttle are connected by roads and the path of Loray Wash. The map details numerous named canyons, such as Fat Woman Canyon, Six Shooter Canyon, and Regulator Canyon, which carve through the western slopes. Evidence of earlier infrastructure and logistics remains through the marking of the Buel Post Office and the Jackson Siding rail feature, illustrating the region's sparse but persistent network of transport and communication.
