2020 Map of Sevier Lake NE

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates the western portion of this Millard County landscape, representing a terminal basin where water and sediment collect in the Great Basin. To the east, the topography rises sharply into the Cricket Mountains, a range defined by deep incisions such as Filmore Canyon, Red Canyon, and Mine Canyon. The presence of several impoundments, including Fillmore Wash Reservoir, Coates Reservoir, and Nelson Reservoir Number 2, indicates the critical role of water management in this arid environment. The transition from the lake bed to the mountain slopes is marked by Fillmore Wash, which drains toward the lake during periods of runoff. Notable landmarks such as Red Cove and Cedar Canyon further illustrate the complex erosional patterns that have shaped this section of the Utah desert.
