About this map

The Goshute Indian Reservation dominates this 1970s landscape on the border of Tooele and Juab counties. The terrain transitions sharply from the alluvial flats of Deep Creek Valley in the west to the steep slopes of the Deep Creek Range in the east, peaking at Bald Mountain and Rocky Peak. This transition is marked by numerous seasonal drainages and springs that supported the local environment, including Skinner Springs and Rocky Spring.

Evidence of human activity is clustered along the valley floor and foothills, indicated by a lone Cem and a Well near the reservation boundary. The network of Jeep Trails and footpaths suggests a region primarily used for ranching or traditional land management. Further east, the topography becomes more complex at The Basin and The Delle, where names like Petroglyph Creek and Chimney Rock Springs point toward specific landmarks utilized by both indigenous people and early explorers.
