1972 Map of Elephant Knoll

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Elephant Knoll and the distinct formation known as Rock Window rise above the high desert floor in this 1970s survey of Tooele County. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Deep Creek and Ferber Wash, which cut through the terrain surrounding the Ferber Hills and Red Mountain. Evidence of early industrial and ranching efforts is found in the Old RR Grade and the Last Chance Ranch, suggesting the historical importance of transportation and water management in this arid region. Several man-made water sources, including JB Reservoir and Oswald Reservoir, illustrate the infrastructure required for livestock or local operations near Tank Wash. The presence of a Borrow Pit near the hills further indicates local material extraction during this era of rural development.
