2020 Map of Sand Pass

About this map

The Fish Springs Range dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its steep contours descending sharply toward the expansive Tule Valley and Fish Springs Flat. This Great Basin terrain is characterized by its isolation and dramatic elevation changes, where the historic Weis Hwy and Sand Pass Rd provide the primary corridors for travel through the desert floor. The map highlights the rugged topography around Sand Pass, a critical geographic waypoint between the northern and southern reaches of the range. Though water is scarce, the inclusion of Roadside Reservoir indicates the human effort to manage resources in this arid environment. The horizontal division between Juab Co and Millard Co marks a significant administrative boundary that cuts across the basin floor, providing a key reference point for researchers tracking land use and geopolitical boundaries in western Utah.
