2011 Map of Sand Pass NE

About this map

Fish Springs Flat dominates this 2011 survey, illustrating a vast desert landscape where water is the primary architect of the terrain. The map follows the drainage patterns of Fish Springs Wash as it moves across the dry basin, eventually joined in the south by Swasey Knolls Wash. These ephemeral watercourses define the geography of this part of Juab County, revealing how seasonal runoff carves the land in an environment otherwise characterized by extreme aridity. Human presence is sparse, limited primarily to the track of Sand Pass Rd, which provides the only major navigational corridor through this remote basin. The lack of permanent structures or developed settlements highlights the isolation of this corner of the Great Basin, making it a clear reference for understanding the physical geography and road networks of western Utah at the start of the 21st century.
