The Wah Wah Mountains dominate the western landscape of this high desert terrain along the border of Millard and Beaver counties. This arid region is defined by a series of north-south running basins and ranges, where the elevated Long Valley and the eponymous Wah Wah Cove give way to the lower-lying Wah Wah Valley in the east. The scarcity of water in this part of Utah is evidenced by the prominent Wah Wah Wash and the presence of catchment features such as Dutchman Reservoir and Newhouse Reservoir, which served the region's ranching and livestock needs. The map illustrates the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System overlaying a landscape of dramatic elevation changes and sparse vegetation typical of the Great Basin.
