About this map

The Emigrant Trail Rd cuts across the southeast corner of this arid Box Elder County landscape, marking a modern path along a corridor of deep historical significance for westward migration. The terrain is defined by the prominent Matlin Mountains and the rolling elevation of the Dove Creek Hills, which rise above the surrounding flats. To the south, Airplane Hill stands as a distinct landmark near the junction of S Airplane Hill Rd and Dove Creek Rd.

Water management in this high-desert environment is evidenced by the Cliff Reservoir, while the natural drainage patterns of Runswick Wash and Warm Spring Wash dictate the local topography. A network of rural routes, including Cedar Hill Rd and Dove Creek Hills Rd, provides access to these remote reaches. This survey documents the intersection of specialized ranching or utility roads with the ancient geographical features that have long guided travel through northern Utah.
