2017 Map of Salt Wells

About this map

Hansel Valley Wash meanders through the central corridor of this northern Utah landscape, a defining drainage for the surrounding basins. The area is characterized by high-elevation valleys and flats, specifically Sage Valley in the northwest and Hansel Valley to the southeast. At the southern end of the sheet, the terrain opens into the Salt Wells Flat, where the namesake Salt Wells settlement is located. This location serves as a critical junction for rural transport, with Salt Wells Rd and W Hansel Mountain Rd N providing access through the rugged foothills. The map reveals a remote, arid environment structured by the Public Land Survey System, including boundaries for t13n r8w and t13n r7w, illustrating the vast, organized spacing of the Great Basin region.
