2014 Map of Wig Mountain NE

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates the western half of this 2014 survey, where the flat expanse meets the rising elevations of the Cedar Mountains. This arid landscape is defined by the stark transition from the desert floor to rugged drainages like Rydalch Canyon and the notable gateway at Six Horse Pass. Remote water sources such as Browns Spring and Cedar Spring provide rare points of relief in an environment otherwise navigated by a sparse network of desert tracks. These routes, including Sahara Rd and Cedar Flats Rd, follow the natural contours of the mountain foothills and provide the primary access to the deep ravines of Six Horse Pass Canyon. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the Great Basin, where road names like Browns Wash Rd indicate the importance of seasonal drainage features in desert navigation.
