2017 Map of Smelter Knolls East

About this map

Smelter Knolls rises as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of Millard County, defining the western terrain near Hogs Back. The hydrology of the region is centered on the remnant Old River Bed and the artificial waterways of the Abraham Canal, which feed into local irrigation and storage points like the Abraham Reservoir. To the northeast, the seasonally wet Topaz Slough indicates a shift in the drainage pattern, while industrial and access routes like Smelter Rd and I P P Maint Rd crisscross the basin. This map documents a managed water system in a land otherwise characterized by its dry basin-and-range topography, illustrating the infrastructure required to sustain the local area.
