2010 Map of Dugway Range NE

About this map

The Dugway Range and its prominent Dugway Ridge dominate this desert landscape, characterized by a series of deeply etched drainage systems. The terrain transitions from the high point at Pyramid Peak down through several named canyons, including the interestingly titled Fandangle Canyon, Engelmann Canyon, and Shadscale Canyon. This 2010 survey illustrates the isolation of the Great Salt Lake Desert region, where water management is critical, as evidenced by the lonely Monument Reservoir in the southeast corner. The primary artery through this arid expanse is the Simpson Springs-Callao Rd, which skirts the southern edge of the range. The map reveals the intricate network of washes, such as Pismire Wash and the Shadscale Canyon Trailer Wash, which define the hydrological patterns of Green Grass Valley during rare desert precipitation events.
