1972 Map of Long Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Long Ridge dominates this Millard County landscape, a prominent geological spine that dictates the drainage patterns and land use in the early 1970s. The area is defined by its water management systems, crucial for sustaining life and livestock in the arid Utah basin. Numerous man-made catchments like Styler Reservoir, Deseret Reservoir, and Construction Reservoir are distributed across the terrain, alongside more specialized points like Highway Well and the Pony Express Reservoir. Evidence of human activity and resource exploration is visible through multiple Prospects and Borrow Pits scattered near the ridge. To the southeast, the geography transitions toward the basin floor, marked by the numbering of Sevier Lake Res No 5 and Sevier Lake Res No 6. This map illustrates the intersection of natural desert topography and the infrastructure required to manage seasonal runoff from ephemeral channels like Soap Wash.
