2014 Map of Hogup Bar

About this map

Hogup Bar serves as the focal point of this arid desert landscape in the Great Basin, where the topography transitions from the flats of the salt desert into the rising elevations of the nearby mountains. The terrain is defined by dry washes and drainage patterns such as the Sinks of Dove Creek, reflecting the unique hydrology of this terminal basin. The map illustrates a network of desert routes, including Board Ranch Rd and Government Well Rd, which connect isolated water sources and range improvements like Hogup Cabin. These features point to a history of seasonal grazing and ranching in a region where water management is the primary driver of human activity.
