About this map

The Confusion Range anchors the southern portion of this Millard County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the distinct geological formations of the Chalk Knolls. This 2017 survey captures a remote section of western Utah defined by its critical water sources and historic transit corridors. Vital desert hydrologic features like Willow Spring, Tule Spring, and South Tule Spring are mapped along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as landmarks in an otherwise arid expanse.

Transportation patterns here are shaped by long-established routes, most notably the historic alignment of Old 6 & 50 and the path of Tule Spring Rd. These roads skirt the edges of the Cattlemens Little Valley, reflecting a landscape primarily used for rangeland. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of topography and early infrastructure, including the approach to Death Canyon Rd as it enters the rugged terrain to the northeast.
