About this map

The Fish Springs Range dominates the northern horizon of this landscape, its topography sharply defined as it rises above the surrounding desert basins. This 2023 survey documents a remote corridor where the Juab and Millard County line bisects the arid terrain between the Middle Range and the eastern edge of the Tule Valley. The map records a sparse but critical water-management infrastructure, notably the Roadside Reservoir located near the intersection of the basin floor and the mountain slopes.

Transportation through this high-desert environment is anchored by the Weis Hwy and Sand Pass Rd, which navigate the natural gap at Sand Pass. This passage serves as a vital link between the Fish Springs Flat and the valleys to the south. The mapping illustrates the stark isolation and geographic scale of the Great Basin, where wide alluvial plains transition abruptly into steep, weathered ridges.
