2023 Map of Keg Pass

About this map

Keg Mtn dominates this western Utah landscape, providing a high-relief anchor for the network of unimproved roads and ephemeral drainages that define Juab County’s desert interior. In this contemporary survey, the terrain is marked by descriptive and colorful place names that suggest a long history of cattle ranging and prospecting. Key points of interest for navigation and historical research include Keg Pass and the water source at Keg Spring. The northern portion of the map transitions into the Slow Elk Hills and the broad drainage of Slow Elk Wash. A complex web of tracks like Flint Spring Rd, Mud Rd, and Dead Horse N crisscross the basin, illustrating the continued importance of these remote routes for accessing the high desert and the southern slopes of the mountain range.
