2023 Map of Long Ridge

About this map

Long Ridge provides the central geographic spine for this area of Millard County, defining a landscape marked by essential water management for the arid terrain. The map documents a network of named catchment systems including the Deseret Reservoirs, Construction Reservoir, and the Styler Reservoir along the western slopes. These features reflect the long-standing efforts to capture and store seasonal runoff in a region where water is the primary driver of land use and utility. Transport across this high desert environment is facilitated by the Ipp Main Rd and the Long Ridge Reservoir Rd, which connect the scattered reservoirs. Near the southern edge, the map identifies Sevier Lake Reservoir Number 5 and Sevier Lake Reservoir Number 6, part of a series of developments linked to the drainage towards the Sevier Lake basin. Historically minded researchers can trace the modern utility corridors and water infrastructure that sustain this specific corner of the Utah desert.
