2011 Map of Hastings Pass SE

About this map

Skull Valley dominates this 2011 survey, showing the arid expanse of western Utah as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map provides a focused view of the desert floor, where the most prominent geographic features are the marshy reaches of Delle Springs. This water source is critical in such a dry landscape, influencing the sparse network of tracks and roads that cross the basin. One such route, Rydalch Rd, traverses the valley, connecting the open sagebrush and salt flats. The survey captures the minimal human footprint in this region of Tooele County, emphasizing the natural topography and the essential relationship between water and travel in the Great Basin.
