About this map

The borderlands between Juab and Millard Counties are defined by an arid, sparsely populated landscape managed for water storage and access. Rain Lake serves as a primary geographic anchor in this high desert environment, surrounded by a network of functional roads such as Sweats Cow Rd and Sand Dune Rd. These routes provide essential transit through a region characterized by sectioned townships, including t14s r7w and t15s r6w.

Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the presence of the CCC Reservoir and the N Sugarville Reservoir. To the south, industrial or mining activity is suggested by the large geometric enclosures near Brush Wellman Rd, reflecting the specialized land use common in this part of the Great Basin. This 2017 survey documents the modern infrastructure of these basins just as they appeared in the early 21st century.
