2014 Map of Red Tops

About this map

Lava Dam and the distinct volcanic formations of the Black Hills characterize this high-desert region of Millard County. The landscape is dominated by the massive profile of Steamboat Mtn and the adjacent Steamboat Pass, which serves as a natural corridor through the House Range. This 2014 survey documents the vital water management features of the arid Great Basin, including the Steamboat Pass Reservoir and Johnson Pond, which capture seasonal runoff from Red Wash and Steamboat Wash. Remote access to these landmarks is provided by primitive routes such as Snake Pass Rd and Ibex Well Rd, illustrating the enduring isolation and geological focus of the basin-and-range topography.
