1967 Map of Sand Pass NW

About this map

The Fish Springs Range dominates this portion of Juab County, Utah, showing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and arid desert basins. Based on photogrammetric methods from 1963 and field checked in 1967, the survey captures the area before significant modern development, emphasizing natural topography over human settlement. The eastern edge of the quadrangle opens into the broad, low-lying Fish Springs Flat, a stark contrast to the neighboring peaks. Transportation through this remote section is limited to a few primitive routes, most notably a Jeep Trail cutting across the flats and the Sand Pass Road leading toward the mountain pass. This map serves as a precise record of the geological structure and drainage patterns of the Great Basin during the late 1960s.
