About this map

The Confusion Range of western Utah is the central focus of this 1991 survey, which depicts a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous named drainage systems. The summit of King Top dominates the northeast, while the Snake Pass Road provides the primary transit route through the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by a dense network of canyons, including Jackson Canyon, Noddy Canyon, and Cedar Canyon, which carve through the high terrain.

Evidence of resource exploration is present at a Drill Hole located north of King Top. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into complex geological formations such as the Red Ledges Canyon and the winding Smooth Canyon. This survey, compiled from 1953 photography with updates through the late 1980s, captures the remote character of Millard County before modern digital mapping, preserving the specific locations of landmarks like Bonny Stairs Canyon and Francis Canyon.
