2014 Map of Swasey Peak SW

About this map

Tule Valley dominates the western half of this Millard County landscape, representing a significant expanse of the Great Basin's arid basin-and-range geography. The terrain transitions sharply to the east into the steep elevations of the Middle Range, where the land rises toward peaks overlooking the valley floor. Historically significant transit routes cross this remote territory, including the descriptively named Ye Old Indian Trl and the Antelope Springs Rd, which snakes through the northern hills toward Dome Canyon. Near the southern end of the valley, the Smelter Hills rise as a distinct topographical feature, likely referencing the region's mining history. The map also captures the path of the Old Highway 6 & 50 Rd, tracing the legacy of early transcontinental automobile routes across the Utah desert.
