1991 Map of Burbank Pass

About this map

Snake Valley and the western edge of the Ferguson Desert converge in this 1991 provisional survey of Millard County, Utah. The landscape is defined by the prominent Burbank Hills, which are transected by the eponymous Burbank Pass and Red Pass. This map captures a remote desert environment primarily utilized for livestock and resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of Eight-Mile Point Well and a Gravel Pit. The Garrison Black Rock Road serves as the primary corridor through the valley floor, while numerous unnamed prospects and drill holes suggest the geological investigations common to this region during the late twentieth century. Drainage patterns are dominated by the ephemeral Cedar Pass Wash, illustrating the arid hydrology of the Great Basin.
