The Squire Family Cem sits in the high desert terrain of Beaver County, marking a localized family history in a landscape defined by scarce water resources. Located northwest of Wallaces Peak, the cemetery and the nearby Wah Wah Springs indicate a history of ranching or settlement that relied on these isolated perennial sources. This 2017 survey details the essential hydrology of the area, where drainages like Quartz Cr, Willow Cr, and Wah Wah Wash channel seasonal runoff into man-made catchments. Both the Wintch Reservoir and Wah Wah Reservoir underscore the ongoing importance of water management in this arid stretch of the Great Basin, where topography and seasonal flow dictate land use.
