2017 Map of Callao

About this map

Callao anchors this remote desert landscape at the border of Tooele and Juab Counties, where the historical footprint of the Pony Express Rd traces a diagonal path across the arid terrain. The settlement is defined by its relationship to scarce water sources, with Big Spring and Redden Springs feeding into a network of intermittent drainages like Eightmile Wash and Willow Spring Wash. For genealogists and local historians, the Callao Cem remains a primary point of interest, situated near the junction of Bagley Rd and Toms Wash. The map reveals a high-desert environment where names like Swimming Hole Rd suggest the cultural importance of the few perennial water features such as Toms Cr and Basin Cr in an otherwise dry expanse.
