2023 Map of Sunset Pass

About this map

Sunset Pass serves as a critical topographic gap between the North Promontory Mountains and the southern reaches of the Promontory Mountains. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape primarily defined by its elevation and drainage patterns, with the isolated Hereford Spring providing a rare water source amidst the high ridges of Cedar Ridge. The road network follows the dictates of the terrain, with Sunset Pass Rd navigating the gap while Golden Spike Drive and the East Auto Tour Route skirt the southern base of the ranges. The map reveals the modern infrastructure of this high desert region, where long stretches of grid roads like 22800 W Rd intersect with the natural contours of Sand Hollow.
