About this map

Boulter Peak stands as the prominent height in this 2020 study of the high desert terrain where Utah, Tooele, and Juab counties converge. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the East Tintic Mountains, which separate the broad expanses of Rush Valley to the northwest and Cedar Valley to the northeast. A complex network of drainages such as Black Rock Canyon, Mill Canyon, and Miners Canyon cuts through the slopes, indicating a history of seasonal water flow and resource extraction in the region.

Transportation through these mountain passes is facilitated by established routes like Twelvemile Pass Rd and Ten Mile Pass Rd, which provide access to more remote locations like Dry Lake and Twelyemile Pass. The presence of named features like Rattlesnake Spur and Gardison Ridge highlights the distinctive topographical character of this basin-and-range province, while names such as Iron Canyon suggest the mineral-rich nature of the local geology.
