About this map

The Barn Range and the House Range dominate this desert landscape in western Millard County, separated by the expansive Tule Valley. The map centers on the distinct peak known as The Barn and the small settlement at Ibex, which sits at the southern end of the range. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel north-south mountain ranges and high-altitude desert basins, featuring notable landmarks like Fossil Mtn and Steamboat Mtn.

Water sources in this arid environment are sparse, marked by the Ibex Well and the distant Sevier Lake Reservoir to the northeast. Transportation across the basins relies on primitive routes like the Garrison Black Rock Road and various jeep trails that navigate through Snake Pass and Steamboat Pass. The presence of The Horse Pasture and several named washes, including Snake Wash and Red Wash, suggests a landscape primarily used for seasonal grazing and remote resource extraction.
