2017 Map of Deseret Peak East

About this map

Deseret Peak stands as the highest point on this 2017 survey of the high country west of the Great Salt Lake. The map details the drainage systems of the Stansbury Mountains, where canyons like Mill Fork South Willow Canyon and East Hickman Canyon carve through the massif. Much of the terrain is protected within the Wasatch National Forest, characterized by steep ridges like the Stansbury Crest and the Stansbury Front. Water sources are critical in this environment, with several springs noted including Buck Spring, Stradley Spring, and Chokecherry Spring. A legacy of resource extraction is evident at the Mining Fork, while landmarks like the Lower Narrows and Upper Narrows indicate where S Willow Cr has cut through narrow rocky passages. The presence of Aqueduct Rd in the east suggests modern water management systems skirting the base of the mountains.
