2017 Map of Sevier Lake NE

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates the western portion of this 2017 survey, representing a significant terminal lake in the Great Basin landscape of Millard County. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Cricket Mountains, where the relief is defined by numerous drainage systems including Fillmore Canyon, Red Canyon, and Mine Canyon. This area illustrates a complex water management system in an arid environment, featuring scattered catchments such as the Fillmore Wash Reservoir, Coates Reservoir, and Nelson Reservoir Number 2. The proximity of these reservoirs to Fillmore Wash suggests a reliance on seasonal runoff to support local land use. Between the flat lakebed and the mountain peaks, features like Red Cove and Cedar Canyon mark the transition from the desert floor to the elevated eastern topography.
