2023 Map of Drum Mountains Well

About this map

The boundary between Juab Co and Millard Co cuts across this high-altitude landscape, where the steep contours of the Detroit Mountains transition into the open floor of the Sevier Desert. The map captures a high-desert environment defined by its hydrological management, specifically the isolation of water resources such as Big Drum Reservoir and Picture Rock Wash Reservoir. These small catchments are essential landmarks in a region dominated by seasonal drainages and the sparse infrastructure of the Brush Hwy. The road network, including the Delta Brush Left Fork, suggests a landscape primarily utilized for transit and livestock management rather than permanent settlement. The absence of townships or smaller named communities underscores the remote character of this high basin in central Utah.
