2017 Map of Whirlwind Valley NW

About this map

Swasey Bottom and the expansive lowlands of Whirlwind Valley define this high-desert landscape in Millard County. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by features such as Swasey Reservoir Number 2 and Swasey Reservoir Number 3. The terrain rises from the valley floor toward Black Point in the northeast, while the southern reaches are marked by the drainage of Swasey Wash. A network of unpaved tracks, including Swazey Spring Rd and Laird Peak Rd, suggests a landscape used primarily for ranching or resource access. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of Utah's West Desert, where naming conventions often vary slightly, as seen in the different spellings of Swaze Springs Rd and Swazey throughout the quadrangle.
