2010 Map of Sevier Lake NE

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates the western portion of this Millard County landscape, representing a terminal desert basin where seasonal water management is critical. The map documents a network of hydraulic engineering designed to capture intermittent runoff in an arid environment, including the Fillmore Wash Reservoir and the Coates Reservoir. To the south, the Nelson Reservoir Number 2 further illustrates the twentieth-century focus on water storage in the Sevier Desert. The eastern terrain is defined by dramatic erosional features where the flat lakebed meets the rising upland. Drainage systems like Fillmore Wash carve through the basin, while deep cuts such as Red Canyon, Cedar Canyon, and Mine Canyon provide distinct topographic relief and natural landmarks near the Red Cove formation.
