2023 Map of Sand Pass NE

About this map

Fish Springs Flat dominates this high-desert basin in Juab County, where the stark topography of western Utah is punctuated by the drainages of Swasey Knolls Wash. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern transportation corridor through this arid landscape, centered on the junction of Sand Pass Rd and Weis Hwy. The map provides a clear picture of the Basin and Range province's characteristic flat valley bottoms and the early stages of the rising foothills. For those researching the geography of the Great Salt Lake Desert's southern reaches, the detailed contour work reveals the subtle depressions and watercourse patterns that define this environment, showing how modern roadways still follow the natural contours of the land in one of the state's more isolated interior basins.
