2012 Map of Ferber Peak

About this map

Ferber Peak stands as the central topographic focal point of this high-desert landscape on the border of Utah and Nevada. The surrounding terrain is characterized by broad alluvial fans and drainage networks, most notably Ferber Wash which cuts across the northwestern portion of the map. The spatial relationship between the highland peaks and the lower-lying basins is clearly defined by the expansive Ferber Flat to the north and White Sage Flat in the southeast. A network of unimproved roads and 4WD tracks, documented by the U.S. Geological Survey using 2009-2010 imagery, navigates the base of the mountains and leads toward secluded geological features like Box Canyon. This modern digital survey provides a precise look at the arid landscape's drainage patterns and transportation routes in Tooele County during the early 21st century.
