About this map

The Mountain Home Range dominates this Great Basin landscape, where the high ridges of southwestern Utah meet the border of Millard Co and Beaver Co. This survey documents a critical topographic corridor through the Mountain Home Pass, a natural gateway used to traverse the arid terrain. The water sources here are vital and distinct, with a high concentration of named seeps and springs including Mountain Home Spring, Sand Spring, and Cobb Spring.

Toward the southeast, the terrain shifts into the unique formations of The Needles near McCune Pass. The land is gridded by Public Land Survey System townships like t26s r19w, yet it remains largely untouched by development, save for a few corridors like S 30500 West St. The presence of Victor Spring and Forked Spring suggests the historical importance of these isolated water points for early travelers and livestock movement in this part of the state.
