1955 Map of Deseret Peak

About this map

The high ridges of Deseret Peak and Vickory Mtn dominate this mid-century survey of Tooele County, where the transition from the Wasatch National Forest to the arid floor of Skull Valley is clearly defined. The landscape is marked by a network of ranching and mining activity, with isolated outposts such as Hatch Ranch, Deseret Ranch, and Condie Ranch positioned along the valley fringes. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by named sources like North Willow Lake, Scribner Spring, and Willow Patch Spring that supported livestock and local industry.
