About this map

Ferguson Desert and the high ridges of the Confusion Range define this high-altitude landscape in western Millard County. The map details a remote desert environment where water sources and livestock management are the primary markers of human presence. Isolated features such as Probst Pond and the Probst Corral suggest the area's importance for local ranching, while Ecks Knoll Reservoir sits at the southern edge of the quadrangle near Ecks Knoll.

A network of primitive and improved routes, including Snake Pass Road and Cowboy Road, provides access through the arid terrain. Notable landmarks such as Pyramid Knoll and Hawks Nest serve as navigation points for those traveling between the desert floor and the range. The geography here is typical of the Great Basin, dominated by internal drainage and sparse, scattered development in the late twentieth century.
