2011 Map of Rattlesnake Pass

About this map

Rattlesnake Pass serves as a critical topographic notch in this high-desert corridor of Box Elder County, where modern infrastructure follows ancient natural routes. The landscape is dominated by the broad expanse of Hansel Valley, a dry basin defined by the intermittent drainage of Hansel Valley Wash. Rising above the valley floor, Franklin Hill stands as a prominent local landmark amidst a strictly organized grid of rural roads such as W 26400 N and N 20000 W. This 2011 survey illustrates the transition of the Great Basin terrain into a managed agricultural and transit zone, where the primary thoroughfare is shadowed by the service-oriented Frontage Rd, reflecting the modern evolution of travel through this historically significant mountain gap.
