1972 Map of Long Ridge SE

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates this 1970s landscape in Millard County, representing a vast terminal basin where the Sevier River finally terminates. The map documents a sparsely populated but technologically marked terrain, where a lone Radio Facility sits in the flats north of the lake bed. The topography reveals a transition from the water's edge into expansive Sand Dunes to the northeast, illustrating the wind-blown geomorphology of the Sevier Desert. Near the northern boundary, the Stage Road Reservoir indicates historical water management efforts along old travel corridors, providing a rare point of named infrastructure in this arid expanse. This survey captures the region during a period of environmental monitoring, just as photogrammetric mapping was refining the detail of Utah's remote basins.
