2017 Map of Hastings Pass NE

About this map

Skull Valley defines the landscape of this Tooele County region, characterized by its expansive wetlands and the tracks of historic transit. In this modern survey, the legacy of western migration is preserved in the path of Hastings Cutoff Rd, a critical route for 19th-century pioneers traversing the desert. The map illustrates a complex network of arid-land water features, most notably Delle Springs in the eastern reaches. Local naming conventions are captured through remote access routes such as Old Nag Rd, Indian Feather Rd, and Skull Valley Knolls Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the valley floor and the surrounding high ground. The survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t1s r9w and t2s r8w, which organize this sparsely settled but historically significant territory.
