About this map

The Sheeprock Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Tooele and Juab counties. This terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages and passes within the Wasatch National Forest, where seasonal waterways like Elderberry Cr and Black Crook Cr carve through the upland. The map reveals a reliance on isolated water sources for land use, marking vital points such as Lion Hill Spring, Black Spring, and Desert Springs.

Strategic passage through the mountains is centered on Erickson Pass, which connects the Erickson Wash to the broader valley systems. Notable peaks including Erickson Knoll and Black Crook Peak provide significant landmarks for surveyors and navigators. The presence of numerous named canyons, such as Harker Canyon and Hard to Beat Canyon, illustrates the deeply dissected nature of the range and its importance for local transit and resource management.
