About this map

The Wah Wah Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in southwestern Utah, where the terrain defines the historical routes between Millard and Beaver Counties. This 2020 survey details the complex topography of the Wah Wah Summit area, a critical high-altitude point for understanding local navigation and land use. Small-scale landmarks such as Eye of Needle and Sols Knoll provide specific points of reference for those tracing early travel through this arid region.

The map reveals a network of drainage and catchment features, including Corral Canyon and Lawson Cove Canyon. These named landforms, along with Long Valley and Wah Wah Cove, indicate the vital role that seasonal water sources and natural corridors played in the ranching and prospecting history of the basin and range province. The boundary between Millard Co and Beaver Co bisects the northern reach near Pierson Cove, documenting the modern administrative divisions across this ancient geography.
