2023 Map of Dutch Peak

About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Sheeprock Mountains meet the West Tintic Mountains. The map reveals a rugged network of drainage systems and ridges, centered on the towering Dutch Peak and neighboring Black Peak. This area serves as a critical watershed, feeding several named water sources such as Dutch Creek, Bennion Creek, and the isolated Indian Springs. A complex system of canyons and hollows, including Harker Canyon and Pole Canyon, provides a look at the natural corridors that historically dictated movement through the range. Remote routes like Pole Cyn Rd and Elkers Cutoff connect the drainages, reflecting the ongoing use of this terrain for forest management and transit between Tooele and Juab counties. Notable landmarks like Red Skin Knolls and Lion Hill punctuate the high ridges, providing distinct orientation points for those navigating these summits.
