2023 Map of Matlin

About this map

Matlin sits at the junction of several historic transport routes in this high-desert portion of Box Elder County. The landscape is dominated by the Matlin Mountains and the broad Matlin Basin, illustrating the stark basin-and-range topography characteristic of northern Utah. A primary point of interest for those tracking the history of Western transit is the Old Railroad Grade Rd, which traces a significant path through the terrain south of Coyote Hill. This corridor once served as a vital link across the arid plains before being repurposed as a local roadway. Small-scale water management is evident at Horse Mountain Reservoir, reflecting the necessity of irrigation and livestock support in this environment. The map provides a detailed view of the remote road network, including Flat Rd and S Coyote Hill Rd, which connect the scattered topographic landmarks of the region.
