2017 Map of Faust

About this map

Onaqui Mountains foothills and the high desert plains of Rush Valley characterize this Tooele County landscape in the modern era. The area is defined by its historic transportation corridors and water management, with the Pony Express HW and Pony Express Trail RD tracing the legacy of early western mail routes. The small settlement of Faust serves as a central landmark near the intersection of various rural access roads like Rabbitbrush RD and Hills RD. Water is a critical resource in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of the Atherley Reservoir and the drainage of Faust Cr and E Faust Cr. Significant topographical features include the steep terrain of Hellhole Canyon to the northwest and the Vernon Hills to the southeast, while modern infrastructure like Aqueduct RD and Pipeline RD underscore the ongoing human management of the Great Basin terrain.
