About this map

Pyramid Peak and the high ridges of the Dugway Range dominate this landscape of the Great Basin. Centered on Dugway Pass, the map details a region where topography dictates travel and water management, illustrated by the presence of Bittner Knoll Reservoir and E Topaz 2 Reservoir on the lower elevations. The desert terrain is carved by complex drainage systems including Pismire Wash and its associated north and south forks.

Transportation through this arid expanse follows long-established routes such as the Simpson Springs-Callao Rd and Nile Road 2, connecting the Dugway Valley to points west. These roads skirt the base of the Thomas Range and pass by distinctive geological markers like Bittner Knoll and the Pismire Knolls. The map captures the specialized infrastructure of a remote interior basin where sparse water sources and steep passes define the human footprint.
