2020 Map of Fumarole Butte

About this map

Fumarole Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape, located along the border where Juab and Millard counties meet. The terrain is defined by its arid hydrology, featuring catchment points such as Swasey Hardpan Reservoir, Crater Reservoir, and the isolated Whirlwind Reservoir. This 2020 survey illustrates a network of specialized access roads and trails, including the Baker Hogs Back Right Fork and Baker Hogs Back Left Fork, which navigate the elevation changes around Crater Bench. The presence of Baker Hogs Back Spr and the route toward Baker Hot Springs Rd suggests the geothermal and hydraulic importance of this specific sector of the Sevier Desert. The map captures a workspace of ranching and resource management, evidenced by the scattered reservoirs and the corridor of the Brush Hwy.
