1991 Map of Burnout Canyon

About this map

The House Range and the Black Hills dominate this arid landscape in western Millard County, revealing a terrain of dramatic vertical relief and geologic complexity. This 1991 provisional edition captures the basin-and-range character of the region, where the broad Tule Valley (Depression) is flanked by these rising formations. The presence of Hardpan and the Sevier Lake Reservoir suggests a seasonal and highly variable water system typical of the Great Basin. Transportation through this remote stretch of Utah is limited to unpaved routes, including the Tule Valley Road and the CCC Road, the latter nodding to the work projects of the Civilian Conservation Corps era. Names like Burnout Canyon and Red Canyon provide specific landmarks for those navigating the eastern slopes of the range, offering a look at the drainage patterns before they descend into the valley floor.
