2017 Map of Little Drum Pass

About this map

Little Drum Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in central Utah, where topographic detail reveals a complex network of drainage and elevation. The rugged terrain is defined by numerous named features such as Corral Canyon, Dennison Canyon, and Buckhorn Canyon, which funnel toward the open expanse of Whirlwind Valley. At the center of the sheet, the Little Drum Pass serves as a natural transition point through the range, while Black Point stands as a clear landmark to the northwest. The presence of Drum Mt Rd and Smelter Knoll Rd indicates the sparse but functional transportation routes used to navigate this arid environment. In the southern reaches, Swasey Wash provides evidence of the intermittent water flow patterns that have carved the floor of Whirlwind Valley over time.
