About this map

The Wah Wah Mountains dominate the southern portion of this desert landscape, their elevation dropping sharply toward the broad expanse of Wah Wah Valley. This arid basin in Millard County is defined by its dramatic topography and sparse water sources, centered around the Lawson Cove Reservoir. The terrain transitions from the high ridges of Fifteenmile Point in the southeast to the lower, undulating Gray Hills in the west.

A single primary transit route, Tule Valley Rd, cuts through the valley floor, connecting the isolated landmarks of Lawson Cove to the surrounding wilderness. The map captures a landscape largely shaped by its hydrology, where small reservoirs and the natural drainage patterns of the Great Basin dictate the location of human improvements. It provides a contemporary view of this remote section of Utah, highlighting the enduring nature of these landforms and the limited, purposeful infrastructure required to navigate them.
