1960 Map of Conger Range

About this map

Conger Range and the surrounding high desert of Millard County are documented here following aerial surveys in the 1950s and ground-level work in 1960. This arid landscape is defined by the migration of water and movement through mountain gaps. Small outposts like Robison Ranch and the religious community at Eskdale highlight the sparse settlement patterns required by the environment. The map details a complex system of livestock-supporting features, including Knoll Springs and the Little Valley Well, which were essential for maintaining cattle across the Ferguson Desert. Numerous passes through the limestone peaks, such as Okelberry Pass, Coyote Pass, and Toms Knoll Pass, show the established routes used by ranchers and surveyors to navigate the terrain. Geographic landmarks like the Buckskin Hills and the curiously named Hole in the Ground provide distinct navigational points in an otherwise expansive wilderness.
