1971 Map of The Hogback

About this map

Keg Mountain dominates the northern horizon of this high-desert landscape in Juab County, transitioning into the broad expanse of Crater Bench to the south. Mapped in the early 1970s, the terrain reveals a sparse network of 4WD tracks and limited water resources essential for rangeland management. Evidence of local livestock operations appears in isolated features like the Corral in the northeast and a lone Well situated in the central flats. The topography is defined by the sharp rise of The Hogback, a prominent ridge that overlooks the Hogback Reservoir. These markers suggest a landscape primarily utilized for seasonal grazing and remote resource extraction, where every named water source was a critical waypoint for those navigating the arid basin and range territory.
