2017 Map of Finger Ridge

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 2017 survey of western Utah, illustrating a landscape defined by expansive salt flats and isolated topographical rises. This specific quadrangle captures the stark transition from the level desert floor to the elevated contours of Finger Ridge in the southeastern corner. Within this arid terrain, Ripple Valley lies nestled against the ridgeline, providing a distinct geographic pocket amidst the otherwise uniform desert landscape. The map provides a clear view of the township and range survey lines, including t3n r12w and t2n r11w, which organize this sparsely settled portion of Tooele County. It is a portrait of the Great Basin’s vastness, where geographic features like these ridges serve as critical landmarks for navigation and land management.
