2017 Map of Aragonite SE

About this map

The Cedar Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Tooele County region, creating a stark topographic divide between the highlands and the basin floor. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a landscape defined by isolation and traditional transit routes through the desert. The transit network is sparse, centered primarily on the Cedar Mt Rd and Cedar Mountain Rd which skirt the base of the range, while Skull Valley Rd marks the western extent of the study area. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, illustrating how the physical geography of the Great Basin dictates human movement and land use within the township and range survey system.
