2020 Map of White House

About this map

White House and the small settlement of Elba sit within a high-desert landscape defined by complex drainage systems and arid plateaus. The modern transit corridor follows the path of Old Hwy Cisco, cutting through the vast Elba Flat and crossing several prominent dry watercourses. These seasonal drainages, including Saleratus Wash, Monument Wash, and Dugout Wash, flow southward from the elevated terrain of Windy Mesa and the Monument Hills. The map details the transition from the rugged mesa tops down into the Mancos Desert-Central and toward San Arroyo. For those studying the evolution of eastern Utah transportation, the proximity of legacy routes like Cisco Springs to the modern interstate alignment reveals how geography has historically dictated travel through this corner of Grand County.
