2023 Map of Swasey Peak

About this map

Swasey Peak and the high ridges of Swasey Mtn dominate this Millard County landscape, where the House Range reveals a complex system of drainage and high-altitude basins. The map captures a topography defined by steep relief and secluded pockets like Sawmill Basin and Sawmill Basin Canyon, which suggest historical wood-cutting activity in an otherwise arid environment. Water sources are critical here, with numerous named points such as Robbers Roost Spring, Chokecherry Spring, and Sinbad Spring providing life in the deep folds of Robbers Roost Canyon and Sinbad Canyon. The transition from the high peaks to the flat expanse of Swasey Bottom in the northeast illustrates the dramatic basin-and-range geology. Modern access is primarily limited to the Swasey Spring Rd, leaving landmarks like Tatow Knob and Box Canyon as remote points of interest for those studying the physical geography of the Great Basin.
