About this map

Swasey Mountain dominates this portion of the House Range in western Utah, where a series of remote canyons and springs define the high-desert landscape. The terrain is deeply incised by features such as North Canyon, Robbers Roost Canyon, and Box Canyon, reflecting a complex drainage system that terminates in Swasey Bottom. The naming of Robbers Roost Spring and the Robbers Roost Canyon suggests a history of seclusion and refuge in this arid environment.

Water sources are vital landmarks on this map, with several named springs including Antelope Spring, Sawmill Basin Spring, and Chokecherry Spring providing essential resources. High points like Swasey Peak and the distinctive Tatow Knob serve as primary navigational markers. The inclusion of Sawmill Basin hints at historical local industry or resource extraction within the rugged interior of the mountain range.
