About this map

The Nevada Utah state line bisects this remote high-desert terrain, where the northern extent of the Goose Creek Mountains meets the high drainages of the Great Basin. The landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and critical transit corridors, notably Wagon Box Pass and Deans Pass. These gaps in the ridgelines suggest historical pathways through the divide, connecting the various forks of Spring Creek to the east and west.

Hydrology is the dominant feature of this 2023 survey, with isolated water points like Triple Group Springs and Rock Spring dotting the drainages. The presence of the Deans Pass Reservoir and the network of local roads such as Dean Pass Rd and Meadow Butte Rd indicate the area's continued use for livestock or land management. From the heights of Judd Mtn down through the deep cuts of Bluff Canyon, the map traces a complex system of draws and canyons that have likely served as landmarks for generations of travelers.
