2023 Map of Miry Wash

About this map

The Little Pigeon Mountains and the northern edge of the Silver Island Mountains anchor this specialized desert landscape within the Great Salt Lake Desert. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial fans and alkali flats, where seasonal drainage is marked by features like Miry Wash. These low-lying areas reflect the geological transition from high peaks to the expansive salt crusts typical of Box Elder County. Human presence is minimal, defined primarily by remote tracks such as Little Pigeon Rd skirting the elevations near Crater Island. The map provides a high-resolution view of the intricate contour lines and wetland margins that define the basin-and-range topography in this uninhabited corner of Utah.
