2017 Map of Neels

About this map

The Cricket Mountains dominate the western landscape of this Millard County desert region, where the dry channel of the Beaver River winds through an arid basin. The settlement of Neels sits at a strategic point along the transportation corridor that parallels the river's path, serving as a focal point in a territory otherwise defined by ranching infrastructure. A complex network of water management features, including the Beaver River Reservoir, Headquarters Reservoir, and Neels Reservoir Number 2, illustrates the historical effort to capture and control seasonal runoff for livestock and survival in the high desert. To the north, the AT T Road Reservoir and roads like W 16000 South St provide access through the vast public land survey sections. The inclusion of the Power Line Up Rd further highlights the utilitarian nature of this landscape as it appeared in recent years.
