About this map

Tule Valley dominates this arid interior landscape of Millard County, Utah, where a sparse network of dirt roads serves as the primary connection through a vast desert basin. The topography is defined by the alluvial flats of the valley floor, flanked by the Smelter Hills to the west and the rising slopes of the Middle Range to the east. Historically significant routes cross this region, notably Old 6 and 50 in the southern portion, which reflects the evolution of early transcontinental travel before more modern alignments. Access into the more mountainous terrain is provided by the aptly named Death Canyon Rd, while Tule Valley Rd follows the north-south axis of the basin floor. This map illustrates a remote corner of the Great Basin where the landscape is shaped primarily by drainage patterns and seasonal washes rather than permanent settlements.
