2020 Map of Sevier Lake SW

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates this portion of the Great Basin, appearing as a broad, arid expanse in Millard County. The drainage patterns of the desert floor are defined by ephemeral watercourses like Steamboat Wash and Red Wash, which carve subtle paths through the terrain toward the lake bed. This environment, captured in 2020, reflects the stark hydrography of western Utah where water is often transient. To the northeast, human-managed water resources are visible at Cricket Reservoir Number 2, while Cedar Wash marks the southern reach of the survey. The grid of the Public Land Survey System imposes a sense of order on the wide-open landscape, providing clear reference points for land management by the Bureau of Land Management in this sparsely populated region.
