2020 Map of Crater Island SW

About this map

The eastern slopes of the Pilot Range define this high-desert landscape in Tooele County, where water sources were critical for travelers and local transit. Reliable water points like Donner Spring and South Patterson Spring are clearly marked along the mountain front, tracing a path of historic significance through this arid terrain. The map follows the corridor of Pilot Mountain Rd as it skirts the base of the mountains, meeting Bettridge Springs Rd near the drainage of Bettridge Cr. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of these remote mountain-base routes and the natural springs that have long dictated movement through the Great Salt Lake Desert region.
