About this map

Elephant Knoll stands as a prominent landmark in this desert expanse of western Tooele County, where water resources like JB Reservoir and Oswald Reservoir indicate the essential infrastructure required for life and industry in the Great Basin. The landscape is defined by rugged elevation changes, ranging from the Ferber Hills in the southwest to the heights of Red Mtn and the depths of Trail Gulch.

Transportation routes through the area are dominated by historic names like Last Chance Cutoff Rd and Last Chance South Rd, suggesting the historical significance of these passages for early travel and commerce. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by seasonal features such as Deep Cr, Bar Cr, and Tank Wash, providing a detailed look at the hydrology that shaped this arid environment into the twenty-first century.
