About this map

Deseret Peak dominates this high-elevation terrain in Tooele County, where the Stansbury Mountains reveal a network of canyons and glacial features. The Silver Drum Mine sits tucked into a side fork of South Willow Creek, a remnant of the region's mineral prospecting history. This 2011 survey details a landscape defined by recreational infrastructure, including the Medina Flat Trailhead and multiple sites such as the Boy Scout Campground and Intake Campground.

The hydrography of the range is centered on the North Willow Lake and South Willow Lake basins, which feed the various forks of the local creek systems. Deep topographic cuts like the Upper Narrows and Lower Narrows provide natural passage through the rocky interior, while named water sources like Stradley Spring and Chokecherry Spring mark vital points in an otherwise arid mountain environment. The map provides clear evidence of the area's dual role as both a site for resource extraction and a hub for backcountry exploration.
