2017 Map of Emigrant Pass

About this map

Emigrant Pass serves as a central waypoint in this high-elevation corner of Box Elder County, where the Grouse Creek Mountains and Bovine Mountains converge. The landscape is defined by its transit history, marked by a network of historic routes including the Emigrant Trail Rd and Keg Springs Rd. These paths navigate between prominent terrain features like the Muddy Range and the labyrinthine Devil's Playground to the south. Water sources, vital for travel through this arid environment, are scattered across the map, from Bovine Spring in the northeast to Chokecherry Spring and the Rosebud Cr. The presence of specialized roads like Prospect Rd and Crystal Mountain Rd suggests a history of resource exploration among the canyons and ridges of this high-desert territory.
