House Range
The House Range is a north-south trending mountain range in Millard County, of west-central Utah. The House Range was named in 1859 by James H. Simpson. It was named by Simpson because "...of its well-defined stratification and the resemblance of portions of its outline to domes, minarets, houses, and other structures."〔Van Cott, J. W., 1990, Utah Place Names, ISBN 0-87480-345-4〕
