2023 Map of Burbank Pass

About this map

Ferguson Desert dominates the northern expanse of this Millard County landscape, where the arid basin meets the rising elevations of the Burbank Hills to the south. This 2023 survey illustrates a classic Basin and Range transition, defined largely by the seasonal drainage patterns of Cedar Pass Wash. Human presence is marked primarily by high-desert corridors like the Black Rock-Chrystal Peak Rd and the more focused Chrystal Peak Rd, which navigate the contours between the peaks and the desert floor. The map highlights critical natural pinch points in the terrain, such as Red Pass and Bk Pass, which likely dictated historical travel through this part of the West. The intricate contour lines around these passes provide a detailed look at the topographic obstacles faced by early travelers and modern surveyors alike in this corner of Utah.
