2020 Map of Monument Peak

About this map

Monument Peak rises as the central landmark within the southern reaches of the Hansel Mountains, anchoring a landscape defined by expansive high-desert basins. This area of northern Utah is characterized by the broad reaches of Curlew Valley to the north and Sage Valley to the east, illustrating the typical basin-and-range topography of Box Elder County. The mapping shows a sparsely developed region where transportation is dictated by long-distance thoroughfares like Locomotive Springs Rd, which skirts the western foothills. To the north, Johnson Hill and Cedar Hill stand as prominent rises above the valley floors, while Cedar Hill (East) Rd provides access to the higher elevations. The survey emphasizes the isolation of these peaks and the dominance of name-bearing terrain features over human settlements, preserving the character of the contemporary Utah backcountry.
