About this map

Big Jensen Pass and Little Jensen Pass serve as primary topographical breaks through the high terrain of western Millard County, Utah. The landscape is defined by the elevation changes between the Burbank Hills and the Tunnel Spring Mountains, creating a corridor for drainage and movement. Water management in this arid environment is etched into the earth through features like Deadman Wash and the distinct channels of North Juniper Wash and South Juniper Wash.

Antelope Valley occupies the lower southern reaches of the sheet, providing a wide expanse of open ground in contrast to the narrower crossings at Cowboy Pass and Juniper Pass. Human presence is minimal, primarily indicated by the trace of Cowboy Rd, which follows the natural contours of the valley floors to connect these remote mountain passes. This survey provides a precise look at the natural hydrology and pass system of the Great Basin region.
