2020 Map of Aragonite SE

About this map

The Cedar Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this Great Basin landscape, where steep topography meets the desert floor of the western Skull Valley Rd corridor. This 2020 survey documents a transition between the elevated ridgelines of the range and the vast alluvial flats to the west. Human presence is defined primarily by historic transport routes, notably the Cedar Mountain Rd and Cedar Mt Rd, which skirt the base of the mountains. These roads provide a primary means of navigating this arid environment, connecting the remote slopes to the broader regional network represented by Skull Valley Rd on the western edge. The map captures the stark environmental character of this portion of Tooele County, where drainage patterns from the mountains disappear into the valley basin.
