About this map

Matlin Mts dominate the southeastern portion of this terrain in Box Elder County, where the high desert landscape is defined by drainage patterns and sparse water sources. The map identifies Runswick Wash and Warm Spring Wash as primary drainage features, both of which feed into the larger Dove Creek system. To the south, Cliff Reservoir serves as a critical water point in an otherwise arid region.

A network of Jeep Trail routes provides the only significant access through the hills, connecting remote locations such as Airplane Hill and Coyote Hill. This 1971 field-checked survey includes later photogrammetric revisions from 1982, specifically noting vegetation changes and woodland cover. The distribution of a few isolated Well sites suggests the importance of groundwater for local ranching or survey needs in this corner of the Great Basin.
