1971 Map of Pot Mountain

About this map

Pot Mountain anchors the southeastern corner of this arid landscape, overlooking a complex hydrological system where the Sevier River and Beaver River navigate a series of depressions and old channels. The terrain is characterized by high-desert features such as the Swan Lake Salt Marsh and several basins simply labeled as Depression, indicating the internal drainage patterns typical of this part of Millard County. Significant for local history and water rights, the map identifies specific water sources like the Headquarters Well and Jensen Spring, which were vital for life in this dry environment. Near the southern edge, a single Grave and a Dry Well serve as quiet markers of past human activity, while the massive Black Rock formation dominates the eastern boundary, illustrating the area's volcanic geological history.
