About this map

Conger Range and the Buckskin Hills dominate this western Utah landscape, where high ridges transition into the arid expanse of the Ferguson Desert. The map documents a sparsely populated region defined by its prominent topographical landmarks, including the Middle Point of the Buckskins and the Long Point of the Buckskins, which serve as critical navigational anchors in the basin.

Evidence of early desert infrastructure is visible through historic transit routes and water-access points. Us-50 cuts across the central terrain, while local routes like Hardpan Well Rd and Fergeson Well Rd suggest the essential role of localized water sources in this dry environment. At the edge of the hills, the Crows Nest offers a distinct high point overlooking the vast valley floor, illustrating the geographic isolation and the rugged land-use patterns of Millard County in the early 21st century.
