2014 Map of Long Ridge SW

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates the eastern half of this arid landscape, its vast bed representing a central geographic feature of the Sevier Desert. The 2014 survey reveals an environment defined by water management and transit, with Us-50 cutting diagonally across the northern contours of the basin. The western terrain is marked by smaller-scale water storage projects including Mud Flat Reservoir, Sevier Lake Reservoir Number 1, and Miller Canyon Reservoir. These features, along with the isolated track of Miller Canyon Rd, reflect the logistical challenges of ranching and resource management in Millard County. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, which segments the desert into townships such as t20s r12w and t21s r11w, illustrating how the western Utah desert has been systematically partitioned.
