2017 Map of The Cove

About this map

The Cove marks a distinct geographic feature where the high country of the Sublett Range meets the northern expanse of the Curlew Valley along the Idaho-Utah border. This landscape is defined by its deep drainages and volcanic or tectonic uplifts, including the Stone Hills and the prominent Table Mtn. Human presence in this high-desert environment is traced through a network of secondary routes such as Cow Canyon Rd and Black Pine Rd, which connect the scattered canyons and grazing lands. A significant portion of the eastern terrain is protected within the Curlew National Grassland, reflecting a land-use history focused on conservation and open-range management. The map details the transition from steep-walled topography like North Canyon and Dry Canyon to the broad alluvial plains that stretch toward the Great Salt Lake basin to the south.
