1960 Map of Conger Mountain

About this map

Conger Mountain dominates this West Desert landscape in Millard County, rising sharply above the basins and desert flats near the Nevada State Line. This 1960 survey highlights the complex topography of the Confusion Range, where water sources like Conger Spring and Conger Reservoir were critical anchors for livestock operations in an arid environment. The naming conventions throughout the quadrangle reflect a history of ranching and land use, from the high pastures of Horse Heaven and Little Horse Heaven to the seasonal camps at Sheepmens in Little Valley. A network of jeep trails and unimproved roads connects remote drainage systems like Kings Canyon and Boobs Canyon, illustrating the era's reliance on four-wheel-drive access for managing these high-desert rangelands.
