2017 Map of The Hogback

About this map

Keg Mtn dominates the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Juab County, while the distinctive ridge of The Hogback rises in the southeast. This 2017 topographic survey highlights a network of primitive and local roads that crisscross the arid terrain, including Jericho Callao Rd and Wilson Camp Rd, which likely served as crucial corridors for ranching and mineral exploration in the region's earlier history. The presence of Hogback Reservoir in the central basin and Crater Bench to the south indicates the essential role of water management and volcanic geology in shaping the use of this remote Utah territory. A complex system of tracks, such as Baker Hot Springs Rd and Keg Pass Rd, connects the scattered peaks and benches, providing a detailed record of the accessibility of these public lands during the early 21st century.
