2010 Map of Hole-in-the-Wall Reservoir

About this map

Granite Ranch serves as a lone outpost of human settlement in this arid pocket of Juab County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the broad expanse of Snake Valley, where the ephemeral Granite Creek flows toward the southwest. This area is a transition between major desert landforms, bounded by the Confusion Range to the south and the Middle Range to the east. Water management remains central to the region's character, evidenced by the Hole-in-the-Wall Reservoir and its associated Hole in the Wall Dam. The presence of the Smelter Knolls suggests a history of mineral processing or geologic interest, accessible via the unpaved corridor of Granite Ranch Rd.
