About this map

Cockscomb Ridge dominates the center of this remote desert landscape along the border of Juab and Millard counties. The western portion of the map is defined by the broad expanse of Snake Valley, where a network of unpaved ranch roads like Miller Ranch Rd and the whimsically named Humpty Dumpty Left Rd cross the basin floor. This area provides a clear view of the transition between the valley floor and the dramatic uplifts of the Confusion Range to the east.

To the south, the terrain rises into the Salt Marsh Range and the Disappointment Hills, illustrating the stark and complex topography of the Great Basin. Access through the mountains is marked by Confusion Gap Rd, tracing a natural pass through the high ridges. This 2014 survey documents a land of significant relief and sparse infrastructure, where the placement of tracks such as Partoun Flat Rd reflects the long-standing routes between isolated ranches and grazing lands.
