1972 Map of Sevier Lake SW

About this map

Sevier Lake dominates this arid landscape in central Utah, where the massive terminal basin defines the geography of Millard County. The 1972 topography illustrates a system of ephemeral drainages and intermittent water sources crucial to the high desert environment. Notable water features include Johnson Pond and Cricket Res No 2, situated alongside the vast white expanse of the dry lake bed. Long, erosion-carved channels like Red Wash, Steamboat Wash, and Cedar Wash provide evidence of the seasonal hydrology that feeds the basin. Human presence is sparse, represented by isolated landmarks such as Black Hills Well, marking the few reliable points of infrastructure in this remote stretch of the Great Basin during the early 1970s.
