1986 Map of White Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Virgin River and Santa Clara River carve through the arid topography of the Utah-Arizona borderlands in this mid-1980s study. The landscape is defined by the White Hills and South Hills, where the drainage patterns of Cove Wash, Cottonwood Wash, and Curly Hollow Wash illustrate the complex erosion of the high desert. Settlement is concentrated near the river corridors, with the town of Santa Clara in the north and the small outpost of Atkinville to the east. One of the more distinct cultural features is Blakes Lambing Grounds, suggesting the area's history with livestock and pastoral land use. The map also records early municipal expansion, noted by the St George Corp Bdy approaching Bloomington Bluff. Isolated water sources like Stucki Spring and the Curly Hollow Reservoir provide critical points of interest for researchers of local hydrology and ranching history.
