1972 Map of Long Ridge SW

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates the eastern half of this Millard County landscape, showcasing its vast, flat expanse at the base of the surrounding ridges. Along the western shoreline and climbing into the higher terrain, a series of water management features indicate the effort to capture runoff in this arid environment. Key sites include Mud Flat Reservoir, Sevier Lake Reservoir No 1, and Miller Canyon Reservoir, which serve as critical landmarks for local water rights and land use history. The topography is further marked by resource extraction, noted by numerous Borrow Pits and a Borrow Pit following the line of a light-duty road through the North End of the valley. These features, along with established fence lines and benchmark elevations, provide a precise record of the regional infrastructure as it existed in the early 1970s.
