About this map

North Knoll Spring provides a vital water source in this arid corner of Millard County, where the topography is defined by the sharp elevations of Plympton Ridge and the broad, high expanse of Rattlesnake Bench. The landscape is etched by drainage patterns like Browns Wash and Red Gulch, which dictate the movement of water and travelers alike through the high desert.

Transport through this territory relies on the diagonal path of Foot Ranch Rd and the historical alignment of Old 6 & 50, which cuts through the southern sections of the quadrangle. These routes offer a window into the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, connecting remote ranching interests across several townships and ranges. This 2017 survey captures the essential intersection of sparse desert landmarks and the long-standing trail networks that have facilitated movement through the Great Basin for generations.
