History
editNevershine Hollow was on the new 1855 cutoff route from the original Old Spanish Trail and the original and more difficult route of the Mormon Road in the Black Mountains to the west. The 1855 cutoff made a crossing at Beaver, Utah, (3 miles east up the Beaver River from the old crossing at modern Greenville, Utah), passed through more wagon friendly terrain in Nevershine Hollow and over Beaver Ridge into the canyon of Fremont Wash to Muley Point.[2]: 2, 4
