Notes

  1. The population areas served by the district are divided between the area near the Nevada border on the far west end of the county and the U.S. Route 6 corridor near the eastern end of the county. Even though the distance between the two areas, the accessibility between the two areas is substantially greater since the western area is only (reasonably) accessible via Wendover, Utah.[1]:120 Driving distance between the two areas is about 136 miles (219 km), of which 5–0 miles (8.0–0.0 km) is on gravel road.[3]
