About this map

Fairfield sits at the northeastern edge of this desert landscape, where the rugged topography of the Thorpe Hills meets the valley floor. The map documents a complex network of resource and access roads, including Treasure Rd and Poker Knoll Rd, which navigate a series of significant mountain gaps. These natural corridors, such as Fivemile Pass and Sevenmile Pass, have long served as vital passage points through the arid terrain between Tooele and Utah counties.

Near the southern boundary, the site of Topliff and the nearby Topliff Hill indicate historical activity in a region defined by its prominent landforms, including Poker Knoll and Powder Knoll. Seasonal drainage patterns are marked by Sabie Creek and Boulter Creek, which cut through the western flats. This survey provides a precise look at the contemporary infrastructure and geography of this high-desert pass system.
