2020 Map of Emigrant Pass

About this map

Emigrant Pass serves as a critical high-point corridor between the Bovine Mountains and the Grouse Creek Mountains in this modern survey of western Box Elder County. The landscape is defined by a network of historical routes and natural water sources, including the Emigrant Trail Rd and Keg Springs Rd, which follow established paths through the high desert terrain. The distribution of named springs such as Bovine Spring, Chokecherry Spring, and Puckett Spring indicates the vital role of hydrology in this arid environment, while topographical features like the Muddy Range and Keg Spring Canyon illustrate the complex relief of the Great Basin. Modern access is documented through contemporary designations like Devil's Playground Rd, highlighting the region's transition from a historic westward passage to a managed recreational and wilderness area.
