2017 Map of Miry Wash

About this map

Miry Wash flows through a landscape defined by isolated landforms and expansive basins in this western Utah desert corridor. The topography is dominated by the northern reaches of the Silver Island Mountains and the distinct profile of the Little Pigeon Mountains, which stand as significant landmarks for those navigating the region. A lone transport artery, Little Pigeon Rd, skirts the northern edge of the terrain, providing access to these remote reaches. The survey also identifies Crater Island, a prominent land feature rising from the surrounding flats. This map documents the persistent geography of the Great Salt Lake Desert basin, where ancient geological formations like the Little Pigeon Mountains dictate the few viable routes across the arid salt and mud flats.
