2017 Map of Furner Ridge

About this map

The East Tintic Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape of central Utah, where steep ridges and deep valleys define the local geography. Significant elevation changes are marked by Furner Ridge and Furner Pass, providing a window into the difficult terrain managed by early ranchers and travelers in Juab County. Water management is a central theme of this 2017 survey, visible through the presence of several catchment areas including Brough Reservoir, Dog Valley Reservoir, and the curiously named Hole in Rock Reservoir. The network of seasonal drainages like Furner Cr and Dog Valley Wash highlights the importance of reliable water sources such as Tidwell Spring. Modern industrial activity is evidenced by the 148 State Pit, while the persistence of range management is seen in the vast Furner Valley.
