About this map

Deseret Peak and the high ridgeline of the Stansbury Crest dominate this 2020 map, where the eastern mountain slopes of the Wasatch National Forest meet the broad desert floor. The landscape is defined by deep drainage systems like Indian Hickman Canyon and Antelope Canyon that funnel snowmelt toward the basin. The transition from high-altitude features like South Willow Lake to the flat expanse of Skull Valley illustrates the classic Basin and Range geography of Tooele County.

Infrastructure is sparse in this corridor, primarily confined to the north-south route of Skull Valley Rd. The map details various water sources critical to this arid environment, including Upper Spring and the seasonal flows of Middle Lost Cr. For researchers, the survey provides a precise modern record of public land boundaries and mountain terrain before the impact of recent environmental shifts.
