2014 Map of Erickson Knoll

About this map

The Sheeprock Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in 2014, where the border of Tooele and Juab counties cuts through the arid basins and peaks. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs vital to this environment, such as Mud Spring, Black Spring, and Desert Springs. Within the Wasatch National Forest, the terrain is deeply incised by drainages like South Oak Brush Canyon and Hard to Beat Canyon. This survey illustrates the modern configuration of the backcountry roads and trails that traverse the passes, including Ericson Pass Rd and W Oak Brush Rd. The presence of named features like Lion Hill and Erickson Knoll alongside the Christensens and Christensens Spur suggests the enduring legacy of ranching and land use in this part of the Great Basin.
