2014 Map of Smelter Knolls East

About this map

Smelter Knolls dominates the western landscape of this Millard County region, providing a significant topographic anchor in an area defined by water management and desert drainage. This 2014 survey captures the intricate irrigation and conservation network vital to the local economy, including the Abraham Canal and Abraham Reservoir in the southern sections. The map traces the historical path of the Old River Bed, which meanders northward toward the Topaz Slough and the dedicated Topaz Slough Conservation Area. This corridor reflects the intersection of natural geomorphology and human engineering, evidenced by the modern Energy Corridor Rd cutting through the northern townships. To the northwest, the Little Drum Reservoir and the Hogs Back ridge further define the arid basin's character during the early 21st century.
