About this map

The Sheeprock Mountains anchor this high-elevation landscape where the Tooele and Juab county lines meet. Dominated by the rugged topography of the Wasatch National Forest, the terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages including South Oak Brush Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. Water sources are sparse but critical markers of the local geography, featuring Black Spring, Mud Spring, and the appropriately named Desert Springs near the southwestern corner.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is found in the northeast, where Lion Hill and Harker Canyon mark areas of mining interest. Transport and movement through this environment are dictated by natural gaps, most notably Erickson Pass, which provides a crossing over the ridges near Erickson Wash. The map also captures the isolated Erickson Knoll, a distinct geological feature rising above the floor of Dry Canyon.
