2023 Map of Red Knolls

About this map

Whirlwind Valley dominates the northern reaches of this Millard County landscape, characterized by the distinct landforms of the Red Knolls and the elevation of Long Ridge. The region's dependence on seasonal water management is evident in the distribution of catchments, including Swasey Reservoir Number 4, Swasey Wash Reservoir, and Soap Wash Reservoir. These scattered water features suggest a history of rangeland or livestock use within this arid environment. Transportation through the area is marked by the path of Old 6 & 50, which bisects the southern half of the quadrangle alongside Death Canyon Rd. This survey captures the topographical intricacies of a remote Utah interior where the presence of the Highway Reservoir at the western edge serves as a primary point of reference for those traversing this high-elevation terrain.
