About this map

Howell stands as a central settlement in this high desert landscape of Box Elder County, situated in the broad expanse of Blue Creek Valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, bounded by the West Hills and Blue Ridge to the northeast and the Blue Spring Hills to the southeast. Water management is a critical feature of this environment, evidenced by the Blue Cr Reservoir and various water sources like Blue Creek Spring and Wheatley Spring.

A network of canals, including E Canal Rd and NE Canal Rd, underscores the importance of irrigation for the valley's agriculture. Interstate 84 and Ut-83 intersect near the northern slopes of the ridge, while local history is marked by routes such as Indian Trail Rd. The map illustrates a grid of township lines and sections, providing a precise layout of land ownership and development around the headwaters of Blue Cr during the early 21st century.
