2010 Map of Sage Creek

About this map

Sixmile Ranch sits at the junction of several drainage systems in this northern Utah landscape, where water dictates the location of both travel routes and human settlement. The territory is defined by the high relief of Hogback Ridge and Red Knoll, with water sources like Rabbit Spring and Divide Spring providing essential resources in an otherwise arid environment. Along Sixmile Creek Rd, the terrain transitions into deeper cuts like Mahogany Canyon, illustrating the erosive power of the seasonal and perennial flows that feed into Sixmile Creek and Sage Creek. The concentration of named water points, including Barrel Spring and Rich Spring, suggests a landscape heavily managed for ranching and livestock movement. These features provide a clear look at the hydraulic infrastructure supporting the remote agricultural operations near the Idaho border during the early 21st century.
