The Lead Mine Hills rise above the high desert floor in this 2011 survey of Tooele County along the Nevada border. This arid landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Dead Cedar Wash and Ferber Wash, which carry seasonal runoff across the expansive terrain of Ferguson Flat. To the north, the presence of Salt Springs suggests a vital, if localized, water source in an otherwise parched environment. The map shows a sparse network of desert roads and trails that intersect at Ferguson Flat, indicating the remote nature of this region. Downslope, Ferguson Creek meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of the eastern Great Basin.
