2011 Map of Flux

About this map

Tooele Valley serves as the backdrop for this study of industrial and natural transitions in northern Utah. The landscape is defined by the proximity of the Stansbury Mountains and the lower basin leading toward the Great Salt Lake, featuring the namesake settlement of Flux and the nearby Dolomite. These locations, alongside the Monte Carlo Mine and Utah Bunker Hill Mine, underscore the region's historical ties to mineral extraction and limestone quarrying. Modern infrastructure intersects with early transcontinental travel routes here, most notably where the Old Lincoln Hwy skirts the edge of Little Mountain. Hydrological features like the Warm Springs Slough and Warm Springs indicate the unique environmental conditions of the valley floor, where seasonal water and marshes break the arid terrain of Timpie Valley and the rugged cuts of Miners Canyon.
