1989 Map of Wah Wah Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Wah Wah Mountains dominate the central topography of this 1989 survey, separating the high desert flats of the Pine Valley Depression from the interior valleys. This provisional map, compiled from aerial photography dating back to 1953, reveals a landscape defined by its aridity and isolation, where human presence is marked by sparse settlements such as Kelleys Place and a nameless Ranch. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Corral Canyon and Lawson Cove, while the presence of a Drill Hole and several labels for Prospect or Prospects indicate small-scale mineral exploration typical of the Great Basin during this era. Traversing the heights of Wah Wah Summit, the map captures the transition between Beaver and Millard counties along an indefinite boundary, providing a clear record of the livestock and mining infrastructure that once supported this remote corridor.
