About this map

Clay Spring and the South Cedar Wash Reservoir provide critical water points in this arid stretch of Millard County, Utah. The landscape is defined by the massive Burbank Hills, which form a rugged north-south barrier between the wide expanses of Snake Valley to the west and Antelope Valley to the southeast. These valleys are connected by strategic natural gaps, most notably Cedar Pass and Juniper Pass, which have long served as primary transit corridors through the high desert terrain.

Drainage patterns across the quadrangle are ephemeral, characterized by seasonal features like South Cedar Wash, South Juniper Wash, and Antelope Valley Wash. These washes dictate the local topography, carving paths through the hills and feeding into the larger valley basins. The arrangement of roads and trails follows these natural contours, illustrating how the physical geography of the Great Basin continues to shape movement through this remote region.
