2010 Map of Granite Mountain

About this map

Granite Mountain dominates the northern horizon in this remote section of the eastern Great Basin, rising above a landscape defined by dramatic geological transitions. The topography here is characterized by the stark uplift of the Confusion Range, which arcs through the western and southern portions of the quadrangle. In the southwestern corner, the terrain shifts into the Disappointment Hills, providing a clear record of the arid, high-desert environment in Millard County. The map details the primitive road networks and drainage patterns that navigate these topographical barriers, illustrating how the natural landforms dictate travel and access across the basin-and-range province. This 2010 survey offers a precise view of the physical geography before any modern industrial or infrastructure development altered this specific pocket of the Utah desert.
