About this map

Hole-in-the-Wall Reservoir lies at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Juab County, Utah. The terrain is characterized by isolated formations and arid basins, notably the Smelter Knolls and the sprawling Middle Range. The presence of Granite Ranch Rd and Rocky Flat Loop suggests a history of livestock grazing and remote land management typical of the eastern Great Basin. Small, ephemeral water sources like Granite Creek provide critical drainage through the undulating hills.

Industrial and navigational landmarks, such as Confusion Cutoff and Smelter Knolls Loop, indicate the movement of goods or cattle through these desert passes. Toward the eastern edge, the topography rises toward Granite Mountain E, marking a transition from basin flats to more prominent geological features. This survey provides a precise look at modern road networks, including Chucker Rd and Middle Range North Rd, which facilitate access across this sparsely populated region.
