About this map

Tule Valley (Depression) dominates this desert landscape, characterized by a vast, low-lying basin where fine sediments and sparse water sources define the geography. The presence of Coyote Spring and the East Tule Bench Reservoir points to the critical importance of water management in this arid stretch of Millard County during the early 1970s.

Evidence of human activity is found in the scattered Sand Dunes and the network of primitive routes like the Jeep Trail, while a Borrow Pit suggests localized resource extraction or road maintenance. The terrain transitions toward the northwest at Coyote Knolls, offering a detailed view of the valley's topographic relief and the surveying benchmarks, such as BM 4440, that guided the mapping of this isolated territory.
