About this map

Lucin stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of western Box Elder County, situated where the northern tip of the Pilot Range meets the vast expanse of the Tecoma Valley. The map details a complex network of springs and drainage systems vital to this arid region, including Coal Bank Springs, Indian Spring, and Tunnel Spring Number 1, which reflect the historical importance of water sources for early transit and settlement.

Topographic landmarks such as Gartney Mtn, Lucin Hill, and Lion Mtn define the relief, while the presence of Grouse Cr and several local routes like Pigeon Mountain Loop and N Pilot Mountain Rd reveal how the terrain dictates movement. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated but geographically distinct corridor, documenting the existing road network and natural water features used by those traversing the Great Salt Lake Desert borderlands.
