1972 Map of Swasey Peak SW

About this map

The Tule Valley (Depression) dominates this corner of Millard County, representing a vast, arid basin defined by its stark geological boundaries. Along the western edge, the Smelter Hills rise above the valley floor, while the eastern portion is anchored by the prominent elevations of the Middle Range. The landscape between these features is characterized by shifting Sand Dunes, illustrating the wind-driven environmental processes of the Great Basin during the early 1970s. This survey records a largely undeveloped area where human activity is limited to a solitary Well and established survey benchmarks like BM 4491, marking the essential infrastructure for monitoring this remote high-desert terrain before modern expansion.
