1971 Map of Smelter Knolls West

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Drum Mts and the Little Drum Mts dominate this western Millard County landscape, defining a region where water management was essential for survival and industry. The presence of the Old Smelter Well and the Smelter Knolls Reservoir near the volcanic formations of the Smelter Knolls suggests a history of mineral processing in this arid basin. A lone prospect located in the northern reaches of the mountains indicates early exploratory efforts to tap into the area's geological wealth. This 1970s survey captures the infrastructure of the high desert, from the Little Drum Well to the Greener Reservoir, illustrating how isolated water sources like a water tank supported movement and work between the Chalk Knolls and the broad eastern Depression.
