1971 Map of Mountain Home Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Mountain Home Range dominates this 1970s topographic study along the border of Millard and Beaver Counties. This arid landscape is defined by its vital water sources, with numerous named springs such as Mountain Home Spring, Cherry Spring, and Victor Spring supporting life in a high-desert environment. An Aqueduct and scattered water tanks suggest a managed approach to the area's scarce resources, while a Sheep Dip Trough in the southern reaches points to the seasonal presence of livestock. The map also covers a significant portion of the Desert Experimental Range, reflecting the federal government's long-term research into rangeland ecology. For those tracing the geography of the Great Basin, the sheet provides a clear view of the transitions between the prominent peaks of The Needles and the passes like Mountain Home Pass and McCune Pass that allow movement through the north-south trending ranges.
