2020 Map of Dowdell Canyon

About this map

Cattlemens Little Valley sits along the western edge of this landscape, marking a point of interest in a region defined by dramatic elevation changes. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep cuts through the Confusion Range, where natural drainages have carved out Dowdell Canyon and Payson Canyon. These geographic features dictate the movement through the area, as seen in the linear path of Mile and a Half Rd, which cuts across the high desert flats before approaching the rugged ascent of Mile and a Half Canyon. This 2020 survey provides a clear view of the relationship between the few named landmarks and the steep, complex topography of Millard County, illustrating how limited access points like these canyons serve as the primary conduits through the range.
