2020 Map of Smelter Knolls West

About this map

The Little Drum Mountains and Detroit Mountains dominate the west and northwest corners of this Millard County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by tectonic uplift and arid-region drainage patterns. Modern infrastructure is represented by the I P P Maint Rd and the Smelter Rd, which skirt the edges of the high ground and provide access to remote desert features. Notable water catchments like Greener Reservoir and the Smelter Knolls Reservoir highlight the critical role of water management in this interior basin. The topography around Smelter Knolls and Chalk Knolls suggests a complex geological history, likely tied to the mineral extraction implied by local road names, offering a detailed look at the rural Utah desert before further environmental or industrial changes.
