2023 Map of Gold Hill

About this map

Gold Hill and the surrounding high desert of Tooele County are defined by a complex geography of mining-era landmarks and arid terrain. This 2023 survey details the prominence of Dutch Mountain and Woodman Peak, which overlook a network of primitive access routes such as Lower Little Valley Rd and Cane Spring Rd. The transition from the steep relief of Royal Gulch and Accident Canyon to the vast, level expanse of the Great Salt Lake Desert in the northeast corner illustrates the stark environmental shift characteristic of this region. Local water sources, crucial in this dry landscape, are marked at Cane Spring and Ochre Springs. Named features like Lucky Day Knob and Spotted Fawn Canyon reflect the prospecting history that once shaped the area, while the drainage patterns of Gold Hill Wash and Rodenhouse Wash show the natural hydrology flowing toward the salt flats.
