2023 Map of Red Pass

About this map

The Sevier River winds through this arid expanse of Millard County, eventually reaching the northern tip of Sevier Lake. This drainage pattern defines the landscape, showing the transition from the river's meandering course into the seasonal wetlands of Bitterweed Lake. The geography is starkly divided between the flat basin floor and the rising elevations of the Cricket Mountains to the east. These heights are punctuated by key topographic breaks like Red Pass and Johnson Pass, which provide the primary east-west movement corridors through the range. Below the peaks, the White Sage Valley offers a distinct lowland basin. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an updated look at the hydrography and public land boundaries managed by the BLM and FWS in this high-desert environment.
