2020 Map of Miry Wash

About this map

Miry Wash cuts through a landscape defined by the stark isolation of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where sparse terrain features rise from the basin floor. The Little Pigeon Mountains dominate the northwestern corner of this quadrangle, while the southern edge is anchored by the Silver Island Mountains and the landform known as Crater Island. This 2020 record of Box Elder County captures a highly remote environment where human infrastructure is minimal, represented largely by the path of Little Pigeon Rd skirting the northern boundary. The mapping reveals the complex drainage patterns of the wash as it interacts with the surrounding topographic elevations, documenting a specialized desert geography that remains mostly undisturbed by modern development.
