About this map

Goshute Indian Reservation land dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Tooele and Juab counties. The western portion of the map is defined by the broad Valley floor, through which Deep Creek and its tributaries like Middle Creek and East Creek flow north from the Goshute settlement. To the east, the topography rises sharply into the Deep Creek Range, a complex system of drainages including Eightmile Canyon and Kelly Canyon.

A network of 4wd tracks provides the primary access to remote springs and landmarks like The Delle and Chimney Rock. For the local historian or genealogist, the map identifies specific points of human presence such as a Cem near Skinner Springs and scattered Corral sites. The landscape transitions from the flat valley basin to prominent peaks like Bald Mountain and Rocky Peak, illustrating the traditional territorial boundaries and water-dependent settlement patterns of the eastern Great Basin.
