2014 Map of Whirlwind Valley NW

About this map

Whirlwind Valley and the expansive basin of Swasey Bottom anchor this desert landscape in western Millard County. The map documents a network of unpaved access routes essential for livestock and land management, including Swasey Bottom Rd, Swasey Spring Rd, and the Swasey Cutoff Rd. These roads converge near water sources critical to the arid region, such as Swasey Reservoir Number 2 and Swasey Reservoir Number 3. To the northeast, the terrain rises toward the volcanic prominence of Black Point near the N Drum Mt Rd. This 2014 survey reveals the persistent reliance on historic water catchments and trail systems in the Great Basin, where drainage features like Swasey Wash define the movement of both water and travelers across the valley floor.
