2017 Map of Hogup Ridge North

About this map

Hogup sits at the base of the prominent Hogup Ridge, a key landform in this arid stretch of Box Elder County. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Southern Pacific Causeway and the Rio Buenaventura Canal crossing the low-lying flats to the south. Transportation through this remote terrain is facilitated by several rugged tracks, including E Hogup Rd and the Hogup Bypass Rd. This 2017 survey illustrates the intersection of heavy transit corridors and high-desert topography, showing the distinct elevation gains at Broom Mtn and the unique landform known as The Fingerpoint. The map provides an essential view of how industrial infrastructure and backcountry access roads navigate the Great Salt Lake Desert basin.
