About this map

The Tetons rise as the central topographical landmark in this high-desert landscape, situated along the border of Beaver and Iron Counties. This modern survey illustrates a rugged terrain dominated by the southern reaches of the Wah Wah Mountains, where elevation changes define the local hydrology. Water sources are scarce and localized, found at points like Jockey Spring and The Seeps, which likely served as vital landmarks for early travelers and cattlemen.

Remote passage through the area is primarily facilitated by Jockey Road, which snakes between features such as the Pink Knolls and Blawn Mtn. The map records a complex drainage system, including Sawmill Canyon and Fourmile Wash, that funnels seasonal runoff through the basins. This data provides a clear view of the natural corridors and high-country landmarks that have dictated movement and land use in this corner of Utah for generations.
