2010 Map of Dowdell Canyon

About this map

The Confusion Range dominates this arid landscape in Millard County, Utah, providing a detailed look at the topographic structure of the Great Basin. This 2010 survey delineates several prominent drainages, including the lengthy Dowdell Canyon and Payson Canyon, which cut through the uplifted terrain. The presence of Cattlemens Little Valley suggests a history of grazing and ranching activity in the northern portion of the quadrangle. Transport through this remote area is primarily facilitated by the east-west passage of Mile and 1/2 Rd, which intersects with the north-south routes through Mile and a Half Canyon. The map serves as a precise record of the road and trail network as it existed at the start of the decade, reflecting the sparse infrastructure characteristic of this high-desert environment.
