1991 Map of Gandy SW

About this map

Snake Valley defines this arid landscape in western Millard County, where human presence is marked primarily by infrastructure for water and resource extraction. The 1991 provisional survey reveals a remote area along the Gandy Road, where the reliance on scarce water is evidenced by labels for an Aqueduct and a Well. Local history is captured in small but significant markers like the Graves located in the northwest corner, a rare genealogical touchpoint in a sparsely populated region. Evidence of industrial activity appears in the form of a Gravel Pit and a Drill Hole, reflecting the ongoing utilitarian use of the desert floor during the late twentieth century. This map serves as a clear record of the high-desert terrain, noting survey benchmarks such as BM 4935 and Section lines that delineate the open expanse of the Great Basin.
