2020 Map of Iron Mine Pass

About this map

The San Francisco Mountains dominate the southern portion of this desert landscape in Millard County, culminating at the topographic transition known as Iron Mine Pass. This area reflects the arid basin-and-range geography of western Utah, where water management is a defining feature of human presence. To the north, the ephemeral expanse of Sevier Lake marks the lowest drainage point of the basin, while localized infrastructure such as Horsetrap Reservoir and Lakeview Reservoir point to the historic and ongoing efforts to capture seasonal runoff. The presence of Cedar Wash in the northeast corner further illustrates the network of intermittent drainages that shape the terrain, providing a look at the land as it appeared during the 2016 aerial surveys used to compile this modern topographic study.
