2023 Map of Salt Wells

About this map

Hansel Mountains and the wide drainage of Hansel Valley define this northern Utah landscape in Box Elder County. This 2023 survey provides a contemporary perspective on a classic basin-and-range environment, where the topography shifts from the rising slopes of the range into the expansive Salt Wells Flat to the south. The drainage pattern is anchored by the Hansel Valley Wash, which meanders through the valley floor toward the southern flats. Human presence is marked by a grid of remote thoroughfares, including the long stretches of 30000 W Rd and Salt Wells Rd. The area remains largely open, characterized by the dramatic relief between the peaks and the low-lying wetlands and seasonal flats, offering a detailed record of the region's current hydrology and road network.
