1967 Map of Sand Pass

About this map

Swasey Mountain and the Fish Springs Range dominate this high-desert landscape in west-central Utah, captured during a 1967 field check. The topographic survey illustrates a corridor of travel through Sand Pass, where the Sand Pass Road cuts between these prominent formations. The terrain falls away into the Tule Valley (Depression) to the west and Fish Springs Flat to the northeast, revealing a stark environment where water is a critical but scarce resource. The presence of the Roadside Reservoir near the pass suggests an essential stop for travelers or livestock moving through this arid territory. This edition also highlights the political boundary between Juab and Millard counties, which runs directly through the center of the valley, and records several Jeep Trails branching off into the mountain foothills.
