2017 Map of Messix Peak

About this map

The Great Salt Lake dominates the western half of this landscape, where the waters of Rozel Bay meet the shoreline of Box Elder County. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Promontory Mountains, a range defined by significant elevations such as Mt Tarpey and Messix Canyon Peak. This transition from the salt flats of Rozel Flat to high mountain canyons like Maple Canyon and Broadmouth Canyon illustrates the stark topographical shifts of the northern Utah desert. Human presence is sparse but notable, centered on the Fort Ranch Airport in the north and the singular track of N Big Valley Rd W. Vital water sources including Rose Spring and Indian Springs dot the eastern slopes, marking critical points for survival and settlement in this arid environment.
