2014 Map of Fish Springs NE

About this map

Great Salt Lake Desert defines the vast, low-lying character of this western Utah landscape, where the boundary between Tooele Co and Juab Co cuts through an arid basin. The map reveals a specialized hydraulic environment on the edge of the Fish Springs Flat, characterized by named water features like Gadwall Pool and Ibis Pool. These pools and the accompanying Shoveler Pool Rte 107 suggest a managed wetland or wildlife area contrasting with the surrounding salt flats. To the southeast, the terrain rises toward Black Rock Hills and the prominent landmark of Black Rock. The presence of the Pony Exp trail and Starlight Rd indicates the historical and modern transit corridors that have skirted the edge of the desert for generations, linking remote springs and overlooks across the Fish Springs Wash.
