1960 Map of Wah Wah Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Desert Experimental Range dominates the western half of this landscape, reflecting federal efforts to manage arid ecosystems during the mid-20th century. Within this dedicated research area, detailed Experimental Plot markers and the Range Headquarters illustrate the scientific infrastructure established to study the harsh Utah interior. To the east, the Wah Wah Mountains rise sharply, providing a topographic barrier punctuated by gaps like Middle Pass and Upper Pass. The isolation of the region is evident in the sparse human markers, limited mostly to family-named landmarks like Kelleys Place and water management features such as Desert Ranch Reservoir and the Cow Camp Well. The presence of the Pine Valley Hardpan and numerous seasonal reservoirs underscores the critical importance of water rights and ranching infrastructure on the Millard and Beaver County line.
