2014 Map of Monument Peak

About this map

Monument Peak dominates the southeastern quadrant of this terrain study in Box Elder County, marking the southern extent of the Hansel Mountains. The landscape transitions from these higher elevations into the broad, flat expanses of Curlew Valley to the northwest and Sage Valley to the east. Human activity is defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and section lines, most notably Locomotive Springs Rd, which cuts diagonally across the high desert topography. Notable landforms like Cedar Hill and Johnson Hill rise from the valley floors, providing navigational landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by vast open spaces and sparse infrastructure. The map clearly delineates the Township and Range boundaries, such as t12n r8w, which organize this section of the Great Basin into a predictable geometric layout.
