2017 Map of Round Mountain SW

About this map

The northern reaches of the Grassy Mountains dominate the southeastern corner of this quadrangle, rising from the vast desert landscape of western Utah. This 2017 study by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the topography in Box Elder County, where the terrain is largely defined by wide-open basins and subtle elevation changes. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns and sparse vegetation typical of the Great Basin, with the land divided by the Public Land Survey System into sections across t5n r12w, t5n r11w, t4n r12w, t4n r11w, t3n r12w, and t3n r11w. This area is characterized by its isolation and the presence of intermittent water features, offering a clear record of the high-desert environment before further environmental or human shifts occurred.
