2010 Map of Mormon Gap

About this map

Mormon Gap serves as the focal point of this arid corridor in Millard County, where the topography transitions between the Mountain Home Range and the Burbank Hills. This 2010 digital survey captures a landscape defined by hydraulic engineering and seasonal water management, most notably the Mormon Gap Dam and its associated Mormon Gap Reservoir. These features suggest a reliance on captured runoff to support ranching or local transit through the desert. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, showing the course of the Antelope Valley Wash as it cuts through the Antelope Valley, while the broad expanse of Snake Valley and the depression known as The Cove illustrate the vast, basin-and-range character of western Utah. A network of primitive roads, including Cowboy Rd, provides the only visible infrastructure across this isolated terrain.
