2020 Map of Long Ridge SW

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates the eastern half of this arid basin, its expansive bed typical of the endorheic drainage systems found in this part of Millard County. The map captures a landscape defined by water management and remote accessibility, where human presence is marked primarily by infrastructure designed to capture seasonal runoff. To the west, the terrain rises into higher elevations accessed via Miller Canyon Rd and the 3C Rd. Significant effort to harness the region's limited moisture is evident in the placement of Sevier Lake Reservoir Number 1, Miller Canyon Reservoir, and Mud Flat Reservoir. These catchments, spaced along the edge of the desert floor, represent the critical intersection of ranching or agricultural needs with the challenging environmental realities of the Great Basin.
