2011 Map of Sand Pass

About this map

Fish Springs Range dominates the northern horizon of this Millard County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the wide expanse of Fish Springs Flat. The area is defined by its isolation and the vital presence of water management in a dry environment, notably marked by the Roadside Reservoir situated along the Weiss Hwy. This thoroughfare, along with the Sand Pass Rd, provides the primary means of navigating the gap at Sand Pass between the mountains. To the south and west, the map reveals the stark topography of Swasey Mountain and the floor of the Tule Valley. The sparse distribution of named features underscores the remote character of this Great Basin region, where human impact is primarily limited to essential transportation corridors and small-scale water catchment systems designed to support travel through the desert.
