1971 Map of Fumarole Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Fumarole Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this arid portion of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where the geological character of the Sevier Desert is meticulously recorded. The terrain is defined by the expansive Crater Bench and the low-lying Mud Depression, areas that illustrate the ancient hydrological history of the region. Water management in this dry environment is evident through several named catchments, including Swasey Hardpan Reservoir, Crater Reservoir, and Whirlwind Reservoir. The presence of the Old River Bed tracing through the southeastern corner highlights a former waterway that once connected prehistoric basins. Transportation through this remote section of Juab Co and Millard Co is limited to a singular Trail and several Jeep Trails, underscoring the isolation of this landscape in the early 1970s.
