1971 Map of Smelter Knolls West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Drum Mts and the Little Drum Mts dominate this arid portion of Millard County, defining a landscape shaped by mineral interests and water management in the early 1970s. The presence of the Old Smelter Well and a isolated Prospect in the northern heights points to the region's mining history, while the network of Jeep Trails indicates the remote nature of the terrain. Water sources are scarce and localized, represented by the Greener Reservoir, Smelter Knolls Reservoir, and the Little Drum Well with its associated Water Tank. To the east, the volcanic forms of the Smelter Knolls rise above the basin floor, leading down to a large natural Depression in the southeast corner. This survey documents the intersection of geology and 20th-century resource extraction in the West Desert.
