2023 Map of Goshute Canyon

About this map

The Deep Creek Range dominates this corner of the Great Basin, where the high-altitude divide marks the boundary between Tooele Co and Juab Co. This modern topographic study reveals a landscape defined by deep drainages like Hardscrabble Canyon and Goshute Canyon, which cut through the western slopes. To the east, the terrain levels out into the desert floor, where the historic path of the Pony Express Rd remains a primary corridor for travel. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, represented by reliable points like Rock Springs and Eightmile Spring, which likely served as vital stops for early travelers and livestock. The map also traces various ways into the high country, including Pole Canyon Spring Rd, illustrating how modern access continues to follow the natural contours of the mountain range.
