About this map

Skull Rock Pass serves as a critical point of navigation through the House Range, where the US Highway 50/6 corridor crosses the high desert terrain. This 2017 topographic record detail the complex geomorphology of the region, from the dramatic elevation changes at The Stairs to the namesake monolith of Skull Rock. The land is defined by prominent drainages and basins including Sawtooth Cove and Hell'n Moriah Canyon, which lead into the larger Hell'n Moriah Kitchen to the north.

Surface transportation is largely limited to the primary highway and secondary routes like Tule Valley Rd and 3C Rd. The map preserves the specific land management divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including T20S R13W and T20S R14W, which are essential for property and mineral rights research in this part of Millard County. Features like Sneakover Pass and Little Valley illustrate the pocketed nature of the high-desert landscape.
