2014 Map of Lund

About this map

Lund sits at the eastern edge of the Escalante Desert in this 2014 survey of southwestern Utah. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the vast, alkali-white Lund Flats and the rising slopes of the Wah Wah Mountains to the west. Water is the critical element of this high-desert geography, marked by a string of vital water sources including Sulphur Spring, Paramore Spring, and Rosenberg Spring. These springs and seeps, along with ephemeral drainages like Prout Wash and Fishers Wash, historically supported the ranching and railway activities that allowed for settlement in this arid basin. High points like Broze Knoll overlook a network of backcountry routes such as Blue Mountain Rd and the Lund Hwy, tracing the paths of earlier livestock trails and service roads that connected these isolated outposts.
