About this map

Mountain Home Range dominates this corner of Millard County, defining a landscape where survival depended on high-altitude water sources and narrow transit corridors. Central to the area is Mountain Home Pass, a vital point for crossing the range between the higher slopes and the expansive Antelope Valley to the east. This 2010 topographic record provides a detailed account of the region's scattered hydrology, marking several reliable points including Mountain Home Spring, Sand Spring, and Cherry Spring.

The presence of the Sheep Dip Trough near Cottonwood Wash offers a specific insight into the area's land use, signaling its role in the region's ranching and livestock history. To the southeast, the terrain transitions at McCune Pass toward the jagged features of The Needles, illustrating the natural barriers that have shaped movement and settlement patterns in this part of the Great Basin for generations.
