2020 Map of Hole in the Ground

About this map

Snake Valley and the northern reaches of the Conger Range define this high-desert landscape in western Millard County. The map documents the arid topography where seasonal watercourses like Baker Cr and Hendrys Cr descend from the surrounding heights toward the basin floor. Historically significant travel routes are captured in their modern context, including the stretch of Old 6 & 50 and the remote Knoll Springs Rd, which provides access to the isolated Knoll Springs in the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. The namesake feature, Hole in the Ground, sits centrally as a distinctive topographic depression, illustrating the geologic character of the Great Basin. This recent survey is a clear record of the area's hydrology and sparse road network as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
