2020 Map of Cockscomb Ridge

About this map

Snake Valley serves as the dominant geographical feature of this high desert region, marking a significant basin on the border of Millard and Juab counties. The landscape is defined by its series of distinct north-south landforms, most notably the prominent spine of Cockscomb Ridge and the Salt Marsh Range to the southwest. This area preserves a largely undeveloped desert environment, where travel is dictated by the natural breaks in the topography. A primary passage through the uplifted terrain is provided by the Confusion Gap Rd, which snakes through the Confusion Range in the north. The eastern edge of the map gives way to the aptly named Disappointment Hills, illustrating the challenging nature of the terrain for early travelers and surveyors in the Great Basin.
