Built around irrigated farms along the Beaver River, Beaver grew into the seat of Beaver County in southwestern Utah. The town occupies Beaver Valley, between the Tushar Mountains to the east and the Mineral Mountains to the west, on routes linking Interstate 15 with high country and desert basins farther west. Its broad streets and nineteenth-century brick buildings reflect settlement by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who founded Beaver in 1856. Robert LeRoy Parker, later known as Butch Cassidy, was born here in 1866. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of southwestern Utah connects regionally.
