About this map

Crystal Peak serves as the focal point of this arid Millard County landscape, situated at the convergence of several distinct geological provinces. The map documents the northern reaches of the Wah Wah Mountains and the southern extent of the Confusion Range, highlighting a terrain defined by high passes and seasonal drainage systems. Crystal Peak Rd provides the primary access through this remote territory, navigating between Crystal Peak Pass and Table Mountain.

Water management and natural geology are evident in features like the Snake Pass Reservoir and the curious Painted Potholes near Painted Rock Mountain. The presence of named gaps such as Snake Pass and Sand Pass underscores the importance of historical transit routes through the basin-and-range topography. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey offers a clear record of the area's physical features, from the broad floor of Little Valley to the carved channels of Sand Wash.
