2023 Map of Hastings Pass NE

About this map

The western edge of Skull Valley meets the rising elevations of the Cedar Mountains in this modern topographic study of Tooele County. Much of the western terrain is protected within the Cedar Mountain Wilderness, where the landscape transitions from the flat valley floor into steep ridges. This area carries significant historical weight as it is traversed by the Hastings Cutoff Rd, a route famous in westward expansion history for its role as an alternative path for emigrant wagon trains. The presence of Delle Springs on the eastern side of the map highlights the critical importance of water sources in this arid environment. A network of unpaved tracks, including Old Nag Rd, Indian Feather Rd, and Skull Valley Knolls Rd, provides the primary access through these remote public lands.
