2023 Map of Wah Wah Summit

About this map

Wah Wah Summit serves as the focal point for this survey of the high desert terrain along the border of Millard and Beaver counties. The landscape is dominated by the steep rises of the Wah Wah Mountains, which divide the broad stretches of Pine Valley to the west from Long Valley to the east. The map records several distinctive geological markers and landmarks, including the curiously named Eye of Needle and Sols Knoll near the southern margin. Local topographical features such as Pierson Cove, Pierce Cove, and Lawson Cove Canyon illustrate the complex drainage patterns and erosion that have shaped this high-elevation pass. This modern topographical record provides an exact accounting of the ridgelines and canyons that have historically channeled movement through this part of the Great Basin.
