2014 Map of Gold Hill

About this map

Gold Hill sits at the center of this Tooele County landscape, where the high desert terrain of the Great Salt Lake Desert meets the steep slopes of Dutch Mtn and Woodman Peak. This 2014 survey documents a network of primitive roads and desert tracks, including Desert Scrub Way and Little Valley Junction Rd, that crisscross the arid basin. The map reveals the critical importance of isolated water sources in this dry environment, specifically Cane Spring and Ochre Springs. Between the deep cuts of Spotted Fawn Canyon and Royal Gulch, the topography is punctuated by numerous named drainages and peaks such as Wilson Hill and Lucky Day Knob. The layout of Gold Hill is clearly visible, showing the settlement's relationship to the surrounding gulches like Tribune Gulch and Lucy L Gulch.
