1971 Map of Mormon Gap

About this map

The Mountain Home Range dominates the western landscape of this Millard County interior, showing a high-altitude desert environment where the Great Basin's character is clearly defined. In the early 1970s, the terrain transitions from the steep ridges of the range through The Cove and down toward the Antelope Slope to the east. Water management in this arid region is central to the land's utility, marked by the Mormon Gap Reservoir and an aqueduct that skirts the base of the hills.
