The Fillmore Field Office (FFO) is located in west-central Utah, bordering Great Basin National Park, and the Fishlake, Dixie and Manti-LaSal National Forests. The FFO is on the eastern edge of the Basin and Range Geographic Province and is dominated by numerous alternating north-south trending mountain ranges and sedimentary basins. Peaks in the mountain ranges include Granite Peak, Notch Peak and Swasey Peak climbing to elevations exceeding 12,000 feet.
The basins include Sevier Lake, Tule Valley, Black Rock Desert, and Sevier Desert. The Sevier Desert contains the 60,000 acres of sand dunes known as Little Sahara Recreation Area, which is administered by FFO. At an elevation of 5,100 feet, the Yuba Special Recreation Management Area offers a variety of water recreation opportunities. When full, the lake is 22 miles long and reaches a maximum depth of 80 feet. This recreation area is cooperatively managed by Utah State Parks and Recreation and the Bureau of Land Management. The field office administers 4.7 million acres making it the largest contiguous BLM administrative area in Utah.

Starting the first part of March visitors can expect to see a much needed facelift at the Willard R. Fullmer Visitor Center (VC) located at Little Sahara Recreation Area. The facelift is projected to begin the first part of January after which the VC will be closed January and February, and possibly the first part of March. The goal is to have the VC back in full swing before the Easter season. While the VC is closed, temporary services will be provided out of the Utah Tread Lightly trailer. Even though the VC will be closed, visitors will still be able to purchase permits, make reservations and receive other informational details. There will be no medical facilities during this time period.
