2020 Map of Smelter Knolls East

About this map

Smelter Knolls rises prominently above the surrounding basin in this western Utah landscape, providing a clear focal point for the region’s topography. The area is defined by a sparse but essential water management network, including the Abraham Reservoir, the Abraham Canal, and the Little Drum Reservoir. These features, along with the Topaz Slough to the northeast, indicate a persistent effort to direct and store water in a naturally arid environment. The presence of the Old River Bed winding through the quadrangle suggests an ancient drainage path that once shaped the valley floor. Transportation is limited to a grid of local routes like Smelter Rd and Smelter Knoll Rd, which provide access to the elevated terrain and the nearby Hogs Back. The map's layout of section lines and isolated water bodies reflects the rural, utilitarian character of Millard County land use.
