1972 Map of Swasey Peak SW

About this map

The Tule Valley (Depression) dominates this section of Millard County, characterized by a stark desert landscape of Sand Dunes and the prominent rising slopes of the House Range. In the early 1970s, this area remained largely undeveloped, with the small settlement of Parto and a solitary Well serving as the primary evidence of human presence in the valley floor. To the west, the Smelter Hills flank the valley, while the eastern edge is defined by the steep contours of the range reaching toward the Middle section. The map reveals a remote geography where transportation is limited to unimproved roads, and surveying benchmarks like BM 4541 and BM 4491 provide the only precise coordinates for navigating this arid basin.
