About this map

The Confusion Range dominates this corner of Millard County, creating a complex series of drainage systems and high points. Named features throughout the landscape reveal the geological diversity of the area, from the prominence of King Top to the deep incisions of Bonny Stairs Canyon and Red Ledges Canyon. The land is segmented by a network of dry washes and steep-walled corridors, such as Burnout Canyon and Smooth Canyon, which illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of this arid environment.

Evidence of the Public Land Survey System is clear, with township and range lines like t21s r15w and t22s r16w dividing the wilderness into a rigid grid. This intersection of natural and administrative boundaries shows how surveyors mapped the western interior, even in remote stretches defined by features like Rock Canyon and Francis Canyon. The map provides a detailed view of a landscape where elevation changes and topographic contouring are the primary indicators of movement and access.
