2020 Map of Camels Back Ridge SW

About this map

Camels Back Ridge dominates this northern section of the Great Salt Lake Desert, where high desert elevations meet the historical traces of ancient geography. The topographic survey documents a transition from the rising slopes of the ridge and the isolated peaks of the Simpson Buttes to the low-lying flats defined by the Old River Bed. This waterway trace represents a significant geological corridor through Tooele County, marking where prehistoric waters once flowed across the basin floor. Infrastructure is minimal in this arid landscape, primarily limited to the rugged Simpson Buttes Rd and the local route identified as Tc02854, which navigate the open terrain between these prominent landforms.
