1973 Map of Grassy Mountains

About this map

Grassy Mountains define this high-desert terrain along the border of Box Elder and Tooele counties. This 1970s orthophotomosaic, produced from aerial photography taken in 1972, reveals a landscape shaped by arid land management and topographical landmarks. Features like Finger Ridge and Cobble Hill stand out against the desert floor, while Byram Well indicates the critical importance of water sources in this remote Utah environment. The map captures the physical reality of the Great Basin during a period of detailed federal topographic mapping, documenting subtle landforms like Grass and the precise county boundaries that divide this rugged portion of the state.
