2010 Map of Warm Point

About this map

The Confusion Range dominates the western portion of this high desert terrain in Millard County, Utah. Recorded in 2010, the landscape is defined by its dramatic topographic relief, where Smooth Canyon cuts through the ridges and Blind Valley nestles between the peaks. The namesake Warm Point stands as a significant landmark above the surrounding flats, positioned between the range and the eastern Barn Hills. Settlement is virtually non-existent here, with the human footprint limited to essential desert transit routes such as Crystal Peak Rd and Tule Valley Rd. The eastern edge of the quadrangle opens into the broad Tule Valley, while the drainage of Sand Wash suggests the intermittent water patterns typical of this Great Basin environment. This survey captures a pocket of the American West where geography, rather than industry, dictates the layout of the land.
