2017 Map of Foote Range

About this map

Foote Range and the eastern edge of the Confusion Range dominate this West Desert landscape in Millard County. The terrain is defined by complex geological uplift, featuring prominent vertical landmarks like Cockscomb Ridge, Plympton Ridge, and the peak known as Nipple. Water sources are sparse but critical in this arid environment, marked by the presence of Foote Reservoir and Twin Springs in the southwestern quadrant. Access to these remote features is primarily via the winding path of Foot Ranch Rd, which tracks through the lower elevations toward the Salt Marsh Range. The layout of the township and range lines, including the unusual t15 1/2s r17w, indicates the historical surveying challenges of mapping this varied topography. This map documents a region where grazing and ranching heritage, represented by the Foote family name, persists amidst a landscape of sharp ridges and isolated passes like Wild Horse Pass.
