2011 Map of Hole in the Ground

About this map

Robison Ranch anchors the northwestern corner of this West Desert landscape, situated where the seasonal waters of Hendrys Creek and Baker Creek descend into the broad expanse of Snake Valley. The 2011 survey documents a region defined by its isolation and the practical infrastructure required to traverse it, including the path of Old 6 and 50 and the winding Knoll Springs Rd. To the east, the eponymous depression of Hole in the Ground sits between the valley floor and the rising slopes of the Conger Range. The presence of Knoll Springs in the northeast highlights the critical importance of water sources in this arid Utah environment, where terrain features and ranching outposts are the primary landmarks across the basin and range geography.
