2020 Map of Big Jensen Pass

About this map

The Burbank Hills and the Tunnel Spring Mountains dominate this high-desert region of Millard County, creating a landscape defined by prominent ridgelines and intermittent drainages. Topographic movement is concentrated around three primary gaps: Big Jensen Pass, Little Jensen Pass, and Cowboy Pass, which historically facilitated movement between the basin floors. The southern portion of the quadrangle opens into the broad expanse of Antelope Valley, where the only named thoroughfare, Cowboy Rd, cuts across the terrain near the foot of the mountains. Water movement is seasonal and directed through several major washes, including Deadman Wash in the north and the converging North Juniper Wash and South Juniper Wash to the west. This survey illustrates the isolation and topographic complexity of western Utah's basin and range province.
