2011 Map of Dugway Range NW

About this map

Fish Springs Flat dominates the western expanse of this high-desert quadrangle, where the arid basin meets the western slopes of the Dugway Range. The landscape is defined by the legacy of early 21st-century mineral extraction and geological interest, evidenced by the presence of the Four Metal Mine and Rainbow Mines in the northern heights. To the south, the Geode Beds indicate a destination for collectors and geologists, marking a point of specific local interest within the vast public lands. The terrain transitions from the low-lying flat through steep ascents such as Castle Mountain and Hanauer Ridge. Numerous drainage patterns like Buckhorn Canyon and Gilson Canyon carve through the range, while the isolated Cannon Mine sits tucked within Cannon Canyon, illustrating the dispersed nature of mining activity in this corner of Tooele County.
