2023 Map of Clifton

About this map

The Deep Creek Range defines this high-desert landscape in Tooele County, where the settlement of Clifton sits amidst a network of historic transportation corridors. The map clearly delineates the Pony Express-Overland Stage Trl, a vital historical artery that runs near Clifton Flat and through Overland Canyon. This modern topographic survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the rugged relief of several prominent summits, including Montezuma Peak, Blood Mtn, and Abercrombie Peak. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are documented at Willow Spring, Goshute Spring, and Minnehaha Spring. Local industry and transit history are further evidenced by names such as Monocco Mine Rd and Montezumas Revenge Rd, providing a detailed look at the geographic names and land use patterns preserved into the twenty-first century.
