About this map

Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of Juab County, Utah, where a system of managed wetlands contrasts sharply with the arid Great Basin landscape. These waters, including Egret Pool, Shoveler Pool, and Curlew Pool, provide a critical sanctuary within the broader Fish Springs Flat. The terrain to the east rises sharply into the Black Rock Hills, revealing the stark geological transition from basin floor to upland. Cutting across the northern expanse is the historic route of the Pony Express Rd, a trace of nineteenth-century communication and transit that remains a primary corridor through this isolated region. The presence of Fish Springs Wash further illustrates the intermittent drainage patterns that define the hydrology of this high-desert environment.
