About this map

The Burbank Hills dominate this portion of Millard County, defining a landscape of high ridges and narrow desert crossings. Modern mapping reveals the complex topography surrounding Burbank Pass and Red Pass, which serve as primary natural conduits through the elevated terrain. To the north, the land levels into the Ferguson Desert, a stark contrast to the intricate contour lines of the southern peaks.

Remote transportation routes including the Black Rock-Chrystal Peak Rd and Chrystal Peak Rd skirt the northern margins of the hills, following the natural gradients of the basin floor. Drainage in the southern section is channeled through Cedar Pass Wash, illustrating the seasonal water patterns of this arid interior. This survey provides a precise accounting of the region’s physical geography, emphasizing the traditional transit corridors that have shaped navigation in the West Desert for generations.
