2014 Map of Desert Mountain Reservoir

About this map

Desert Mtn dominates the northern landscape of this Juab County quadrangle, rising above a network of desert tracks and water management features. The area's ranching and resource history is etched into the terrain through names like Melvins Mine Rd and Sweats Cow Rd, indicating the dual interests of mining and livestock in this arid environment. Central to the geography are the Desert Mountain Reservoir and the S Desert Mountain Reservoir, which serve as critical catchment points alongside the ephemeral Cherry Creek Wash. The map's grid is defined by the Golden Hwy, which bisects the region and provides access to local landmarks like Windmill Rd. The inclusion of Sand Dune Rd in the south highlights the specific sandy soil characteristics that define the eastern edges of the Sevier Desert.
