2014 Map of Long Ridge SE

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates this portion of the Great Basin in Millard County, appearing here as an expansive terminal sink within the Sevier Desert. The 2014 survey documents the hydrography of this endorheic basin, where the Sevier River terminates after its long journey through central Utah. The landscape is characterized by the vast dry bed of the lake and the intermittent flow of its primary tributary as it enters from the northeast. In the northwest corner of the quadrangle, Us-50 skirts the edge of the high desert terrain, providing the primary east-west transit corridor through this sparsely populated region. Smaller water management features like the Stage Road Reservoir are situated near the highway, illustrating the critical nature of water storage in this arid environment.
