2011 Map of Bulls Pass

About this map

Hansel Valley defines the western half of this map, showing a high desert landscape structured by an expansive grid of rural roads. The area is dominated by the North Promontory Mountains which rise to the east, creating a stark topographical boundary. The namesake Bulls Pass serves as a key transition point through this upland terrain, while the Hansel Valley Wash drains the basin to the northwest. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the sparse infrastructure of northern Box Elder County, where long-distance routes like Sunset Pass Rd and 24400 W Rd provide access to remote ranching or conservation lands. The map reflects the enduring rural character of the Great Basin, where the placement of tracks and drainage patterns are the primary markers of human presence.
