About this map

Allens Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Utah County, where the open expanse of the Cedar Valley meets a series of prominent ridges and canyons. The map documents a network of historic transit routes, including Ten Mile Pass Rd, Twelve Mile Pass Rd, and Homansville Pass Rd, which navigate the gaps between several named heights. These summits, such as Bismark Peak, Tenmile Hill, and Wanlass Hill, define the local topography and have long served as landmarks for those moving through this portion of the Great Basin.

Several passes provide passage through the hills, including Greeley Pass and Rattlesnake Pass, while the southern reaches of the map are deeply incised by drainages like Holdaway Canyon, Chiulos Canyon, and Pinyon Canyon. This 2020 survey captures the area's rural character, showing the isolation of the ranching settlements and the enduring nature of the early roads that continue to track the natural contours of the land.
