About this map

The Cricket Mountains define the western reaches of this Millard County landscape, providing a high-relief boundary to the broad basin of Big Sage Valley. This 2011 survey captures a remote section of the Great Basin where drainage and transport follow the natural contours of the desert terrain. To the north, Cedar Pass and Red Pass provide established crossing points through the mountain range, connecting the western canyons to the flatter valleys in the east.

Water management is central to the area's utility, marked by the Cat Canyon Reservoir and Georges Reservoir, which capture seasonal runoff in a region dominated by the Beaver River to the southeast. The survey also traces S 24300 West St, reflecting the persistent, though sparse, road network that services the remote Georges Valley and Georges Pass. The map highlights a typical high-desert pattern of isolated reservoirs and passes that have historically dictated movement through the central Utah corridor.
