2023 Map of Deseret Peak West

About this map

The Stansbury Mountains define the central axis of this landscape, where high-elevation drainage systems like Big Creek Canyon and Antelope Canyon descend toward the valley floor. Dominating the eastern heights is Deseret Peak, the focal point of the Deseret Peak Wilderness and the broader Wasatch National Forest. To the west, the steep mountain front gives way to the open expanses of Skull Valley, a transition navigated by the long straightaway of Skull Valley Rd. This modern survey illustrates the essential water sources that sustain the region, from high-country features like South Willow Lake and Upper Spring to the seasonal flows within Indian Hickman Canyon and North Lost Creek. The map provides a clear look at the relationship between the protected alpine wilderness and the arid basins typical of Tooele County.
