2020 Map of The Hogback

About this map

Keg Mtn dominates the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Juab County, where the topography shifts from steep ridgelines to the broad expanses of Crater Bench. The map illustrates a network of essential desert transit routes that converge near The Hogback, a prominent geological spine. These roads, including the Jericho Callao Rd and the Baker Hot Springs Rd, provide access through this arid terrain, linking remote camps and water sources. Hogback Reservoir serves as a critical hydrologic point in the lower elevations, reflecting the sparse but vital water management infrastructure necessary for land use in this part of the West. The intricate contouring reveals a complex system of washes and drainage patterns, such as the Baker Hogs Back Right Fork, which define the movement of water across the open range.
