2023 Map of Smelter Knolls East

About this map

Smelter Knolls rises above the desert floor of Millard County, providing a high vantage point over a landscape defined by seasonal water and historical irrigation infrastructure. This modern survey illustrates the complex relationship between the arid terrain and the Old River Bed, which meanders through the central basin. The presence of the Abraham Canal and Abraham Reservoir indicates the ongoing efforts to manage water resources for the surrounding region, while Topaz Slough reveals the low-lying areas where water collects during periods of runoff. Further west, the Hogs Back ridgeline and the Little Drum Reservoir emphasize the isolation of this corner of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where maintenance roads like Ip P Maint RD provide the primary access for land management.
