About this map

Old River Bed defines the western reaches of this desert landscape, marking the ancient course of a prehistoric waterway through the Slow Elk Hills and past The Shutoff. This 2020 survey of the Tooele and Juab county line captures a rugged region dominated by the Simpson Mountains and significant high-altitude drainage systems like Indian Canyon and Footes Canyon.

Water remains the primary focus for any historian or traveler in this arid environment, with vital points such as Coyote Springs, Burnt Springs, and Sixmile Springs providing life-sustaining hubs. The topography is anchored by prominent geological features including Warehouse Rock, Cup Butte, and Grassy Mtn, while the network of unpaved routes like the Simpson Springs-Callao Rd provides the only modern access through these remote basins and washes.
