2017 Map of Big Horseshoe

About this map

The Confusion Range dominates the western half of this Millard County landscape, characterized by dramatic high-altitude ridges and narrow gaps like Indian Pass. This 2017 survey details the topographical complexity of the desert interior, where landforms like the Big Horseshoe and Little Horseshoe rise above the surrounding terrain. To the east, the elevation drops toward the Tule Valley, a vast sink that creates a stark contrast with the uplifted geology of the Chevron Ridge and Plympton Ridge. Evidence of water management in this arid environment is visible at the Confusion Hills Reservoir, located just south of the aptly named Disappointment Hills. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System township and range lines, providing essential spatial data for researchers and land managers tracking property boundaries and geographical changes in this corner of the Great Basin.
