About this map

The Burbank Hills and the northern reaches of the Tunnel Spring Mountains define this high-elevation corridor in western Millard County. The map details a landscape shaped by narrow passages, most notably Big Jensen Pass and Little Jensen Pass, which connect the highland terrain to the expansive Antelope Valley. This 1991 provisional survey, based on field checks from 1960 and 1989, captures a region dedicated to range management and ecological research within the Desert Experimental Range.

Evidence of rural land use is scattered throughout the valley floors, including a Corral and various Guzzlers designed for wildlife or livestock watering. A network of unimproved tracks and 4WD paths, including the prominent Cowboy Road, provides the only access through the drainage systems of Juniper Wash and Deadman Wash. This map is particularly useful for understanding the isolation and specific infrastructure of Great Basin grazing and research lands during the late twentieth century.
