2023 Map of Crafts Lake

About this map

Hydrological systems dominate this portion of Millard County, where the desert landscape is defined by the legacy of moving water. The Sevier River and its Old Channel wind through the eastern reaches, feeding into Gunnison Bend. This area shows a complex network of managed water, including the Bliss Canal and the long course of the Marshall Ditch, which cuts diagonally across the center of the sheet. The presence of the Old River Bed in the north suggests an ancient drainage path now largely superseded by modern irrigation and natural shifts. Smaller bodies of water like Crafts Lake, Alexander Lake, and Blue Lake dot the low-lying areas, providing critical landmarks in an otherwise sparse terrain. Local transit is supported by a grid of rural roads, including Old 6 & 50, marking the historical path of the transcontinental highway system.
