2023 Map of Meadow Spring

About this map

Hogup sits at the edge of a striking desert landscape where the southern reaches of the Hogup Mountains meet the vast flats of the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin. This 2023 survey documents a remote corner of Box Elder County, showing the intersection of industrial water management and historic travel routes. The Rio Buenaventura Canal cuts through the southern terrain near the Railroad Siding Rd, tracing a path across the salt-crusted basin. To the north, the elevation rises toward Broom Mtn and the mountain range, accessible via a network of backcountry tracks including Middle Pass Rd and W Hogup Rd. The location of Meadow Spring on the western slope highlights a rare water source in this arid environment, a feature traditionally vital for both early travelers and modern land management.
