2014 Map of West Mountain Peak

About this map

West Mtn Peak anchors this southwestern corner of Washington County, where the high ridges of the Beaver Dam Mountains meet the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. This arid environment is defined by its sparse but critical water sources, including Grapevine Spring, Sam Spring, and Couch Spring, which have historically served as vital points for livestock and wildlife. The landscape is deeply incised by drainages such as Indian Canyon, Horse Canyon, and Jackson Wash, illustrating the complex erosion patterns common to the transition between the Great Basin and Mojave provinces. To the northwest, the edge of the Mormon Range is visible, while Red Hollow cuts through the northern sections. Modern utility infrastructure is noted by the Powerline Row, which traverses the high desert terrain alongside Powerline Rd.
