2018 Map of Ferguson Flat

About this map

Lead Mine Hills rise above the high desert floor on the border of Utah and Nevada, defining the western edge of Tooele County. This arid landscape is marked by the broad expanse of Ferguson Flat and a network of ephemeral drainage systems including Dead Cedar Wash, Ferber Wash, and Ferguson Cr. The topography here illustrates the classic basin and range character of the region, where isolated mountain blocks are separated by broad, sediment-filled valleys. Significant for those tracking land use and historic routes, the map shows Last Chance North Rd skirting the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The survey also delineates the precise township and range divisions, such as t30n r70e and t4s r19w, which are essential for locating specific historical land claims and grazing allotments along the state line.
