2017 Map of Drum Mountains Well

About this map

The Detroit Mountains dominate the western edge of this arid landscape where Millard and Juab counties meet. The terrain is defined by its extreme relief and sparse water sources, centered on the Drum Mountains Well and the remote Brush Hwy corridor. These features suggest a region historically used for grazing and transport through the West Desert, where every water point was critical for survival. To the east, the land levels out toward ephemeral catchments like Picture Rock Wash Reservoir and Big Drum Reservoir. The drainage of Picture Rock Wash and the Delta Brush Left Fork trace the natural paths of seasonal runoff across the basin floor, illustrating the complex hydrology required to sustain activity in such a parched environment.
