2023 Map of Iron Mine Pass

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, appearing as a massive, often dry desert basin where the water table fluctuates significantly across the Millard County terrain. This high-altitude basin is flanked to the south by the rising slopes of the San Francisco Mountains, which provide a stark vertical contrast to the expansive flatlands of the lake bed. A notable topographical break occurs at Iron Mine Pass, a natural gateway through the ridgeline that likely served as a historic corridor for travel and mineral exploration. The presence of Horsetrap Reservoir and Lakeview Reservoir highlights the critical role of water management in this arid environment, where intermittent drainage like Cedar Wash defines the movement of seasonal runoff from the surrounding peaks.
