2023 Map of Cat Canyon

About this map

The Cricket Mountains dominate this 2023 landscape in Millard County, providing a series of high ridges and passes between the broad basins of western Utah. Navigation through this arid terrain centers on natural corridors like Red Pass and Cedar Pass, which connect the expansive Big Sage Valley to the surrounding lowlands. Water management is a defining characteristic of the area, evidenced by the presence of Cat Canyon Reservoir and Georges Reservoir, which capture runoff from the namesake Cat Canyon and the surrounding hills. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Beaver River cuts across the valley floor, serving as a primary hydrological feature in an otherwise dry and high-altitude desert environment.
