About this map

Sevier Lake dominates the western portion of this 2014 survey, where its expansive, often arid bed meets the rising eastern foothills of the Cricket Mountains. This arid Millard County landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of seasonal waterways and a sparse network of reservoirs including Fillmore Wash Reservoir, Coates Reservoir, and Nelson Reservoir Number 2, which suggest the careful management of water in this high desert environment.

The eastern terrain is deeply incised by several prominent features, most notably Fillmore Canyon and Red Canyon. These canyons, along with Cedar Canyon and Mine Canyon, provide a clear view of the topographic transitions from the shoreline toward the higher elevations. The placement of these water features and named landmarks like Red Cove and Fillmore Wash offers researchers a contemporary look at the geological and hydrological character of this remote basin.
