2023 Map of Hogup Ridge North

About this map

Hogup Ridge dominates the western edge of this landscape, rising above the surrounding basin floor in Box Elder County. This modern survey illustrates a remote and specialized infrastructure where the Rio Buenaventura Canal cuts across the southern portion of the sheet. The terrain is characterized by distinctive formations like Broom Mtn and the narrow projection known as The Fingerpoint. A limited network of specialized routes, including E Hogup Rd, Hogup Bypass Rd, and Lower Hogup Finger Rd, provides access to this isolated environment. The map details the precise contours of the Great Salt Lake Desert region, showing how human engineering in the form of canals interacts with the natural topography of the ridges.
