2014 Map of Farnsworth Peak

About this map

Farnsworth Peak dominates the high ground of the Oquirrh Mountains in this modern topographical survey, standing as a prominent landmark along the boundary between Tooele and Salt Lake counties. The northern landscape transitions sharply from these steep canyons into the industrial and recreational corridor along the Great Salt Lake. Industrial heritage is evident in the presence of Garfield, Arthur, and the expansive Kennecott Tailings Pond Number One, reflecting the region’s long-standing connection to large-scale mining operations. Along the shoreline, sites like Sunset Beach and Silver Sands Beach sit near Black Rock, a classic geographic marker for travelers along the lake’s edge. The map captures the complex infrastructure where rail lines and roads meet at Lake Point Junction and Garfield Junction, serving as critical transit points between the mountains and the southern shore of the Great Salt Lake.
