About this map

Terrace Mountain dominates the eastern horizon of this high-desert landscape in Box Elder County, where the terrain drops sharply toward the expansive Mud flats to the south. The area is defined by its water management and sparse natural resources, with drainage systems like Muddy Creek and the small Watercress spring cutting through the arid environment. A notable Aqueduct trace indicates the human effort to channel water through this remote sector of the Great Basin.

Industrial and agricultural utility is evident in the scattered distribution of Flowing Wells and a standalone Flowing Well located on the edge of the desert floor. These features, along with a Gravel Pit near the western boundary, illustrate the practical land use during the late twentieth century. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of the section lines and township boundaries, such as T 9 N T 8 N, that organized this rugged portion of northern Utah.
