2017 Map of Matlin

About this map

Matlin sits along the southern edge of the Matlin Mountains, a point of interest for researchers tracking the historical transportation corridors of Box Elder County. This 2017 survey highlights the enduring path of the Old Railroad Grade Rd, which cuts diagonally across the basin, reflecting the legacy of early western rail expansion. The landscape is defined by its arid basin-and-range topography, stretching from the elevations of Coyote Hill and Sheep Mtn down into the wide expanse of the Matlin Basin. Scattered landmarks like the Horse Mountain Reservoir and a network of secondary routes, including Flat Rd and Coyote Hill Rd, provide specific geographical anchors for those studying land use and water management in this remote section of northern Utah.
