2011 Map of Scipio Pass

About this map

Scipio Pass serves as the central crossing point in this Millard County landscape, where modern transportation corridors follow the natural contours of the high desert terrain. The contemporary Frontage Rd and highway systems trace a path that historically connected the Sevier Valley with the northern territories, a route echoed by the nearby Scipio Pioneer Trl. This area is defined by its complex drainage network, where seasonal water sources like Mud Spring and Lower Ebbs Spring feed into systems such as Wild Goose Creek. The topography is dominated by numerous deep cut features including Eightmile Canyon and Ebbs Canyon, illustrating the erosional forces that have shaped the West. For the local historian, the map reveals the persistence of named landmarks and cattle-era infrastructure like the East Fork Ditch and various rural access points including Wild Goose Rd.
