2017 Map of Iron Mine Pass

About this map

The San Francisco Mountains dominate the southern half of this Millard County landscape, rising sharply above the desert floor and terminating at the natural saddle of Iron Mine Pass. This pass serves as a key topographical transition between the high peaks and the drainage systems to the north. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, the terrain flattens significantly as it approaches the vast, often dry bed of Sevier Lake. Sparse water management features like Horsetrap Reservoir and Lakeview Reservoir are scattered across these lower elevations, indicating the critical role of water capture in this arid environment. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, such as t25s r12w, and the natural erosion patterns of Cedar Wash, illustrating the intersection of modern surveying and an unforgiving geologic landscape.
