2020 Map of Skull Rock Pass

About this map

The House Range dominates this portion of Millard County, creating a formidable geological barrier defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal drainage basins. Travel through this arid landscape is funneled through natural gaps such as Skull Rock Pass and the higher Sneakover Pass, which provide passage between the surrounding lowlands. The nomenclature of the area reflects the difficulty of the terrain, with evocative names like Hell'n Moriah Canyon and its associated Hell'n Moriah Kitchen in the northwest, alongside distinctive landmarks like Skull Rock and the tiered formations of The Stairs. Aside from the primary route of Tule Valley Rd and a few secondary roads, the region remains largely undeveloped, characterized by vast basins like Sawtooth Cove and Little Valley that emphasize the isolated nature of the Great Basin geography.
