2017 Map of Wah Wah Summit

About this map

The Wah Wah Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Millard and Beaver Counties. This modern survey illustrates the complex natural drainage patterns of the Great Basin, where features like Lawson Cove Canyon and Pierce Canyon carve through the steep terrain. The southern portion of the map is centered on Wah Wah Summit, a critical passage through the range that serves as a transit point across the arid interior. Notable local landmarks like the uniquely named Eye of Needle and Sols Knoll provide specific points of reference for those navigating the basin-and-range topography. The map also documents the transition from the high ridges down to lower elevations at Pierson Cove and Wah Wah Cove, reflecting the remote and undeveloped character of this part of western Utah.
