About this map

Vernon Reservoir and its associated Vernon Dam anchor the northeast corner of this high-altitude landscape in the Sheeprock Mountains. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages and ridges, including Harker Canyon and Greens Ridge, which fall away from the prominent summits of Dutch Peak and Black Peak. This 2011 survey captures the network of forest and access roads that penetrate the mountains, such as Dutch Creek Rd and Pole Canyon Rd, facilitating movement through the canyon systems.

Water management and recreation are central to the area's modern character, evidenced by the presence of the Little Valley Campground along Little Valley Creek. Several intermittent and perennial streams, including Bennion Creek and Chokecherry Creek, carve through hollows like Grove Hollow and Snow Hollow. This map is an essential reference for understanding the hydrological and topographic layout of this part of Tooele County, illustrating how access routes follow the natural contours of the mountain range.
