2017 Map of Sand Ridge

About this map

Sand Ridge dominates the central portion of this landscape in Millard County, situated within a vast, arid stretch of the Great Basin. This high-desert terrain is defined by the winding course of the Beaver River as it passes through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. The map reflects a modern surveying era, documenting the natural hydrology and topography of the Sevier Desert. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including townships t21s r8w and t22s r7w, provides the primary structure for this largely unsettled region, where elevation changes are marked by subtle contours and the remnants of historic water drainage patterns.
