2020 Map of Candland Spring

About this map

Iron Basin and the Cricket Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Millard County, where water is the primary sculptor of the terrain. The presence of Candland Spring and the Cricket Seeps indicates essential water sources in an otherwise arid environment, historically vital for range management and wildlife. The drainage patterns of Fillmore Wash and Filmore Canyon emphasize the seasonal movement of water through this complex topography, while Big Sage Reservoir marks a point of modern hydrological control near Big Sage Valley. Remote access is traced through unimproved corridors like Up Rd and Big Sage Valley Rd, reflecting the area's continued use for grazing and exploration. The transition from the steep elevations of Poison Mtn to the protected depths of Broadmouth Canyon illustrates the stark geological relief typical of this Basin and Range province.
