1972 Map of Headlight Mtn

About this map

The Cricket Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Millard County, rising sharply above the eastern shore of Sevier Lake. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-south running ridges and valleys, including Cedar Valley and Red Valley, which are punctuated by distinctive landmarks such as Petes Knoll and Monument Point. This 1970s survey illustrates a specialized local geography of named passes and gaps, including Headlight Gap, Cys Pass, and Lone Cedar Pass, which facilitate movement through the steep range. Evidence of land use is limited to a few features like Cricket Reservoir, a lonely Storage Bin, and a Jeep Trail, suggesting an area primarily used for grazing or mineral exploration, further hinted at by Mine Canyon in the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
