2014 Map of Hastings Pass

About this map

Hastings Pass serves as a critical geographic notch through the high ridges of the Cedar Mountains in Tooele County. This arid landscape is defined by its strategic water sources and historical transit routes, most notably the eponymous pass and vital watering points like Redlum Spring and Henry Spring to the south. The complex network of unimproved roads reflects the area's history of resource extraction and range management, with labels such as Mining Rd and Aragonite Rd suggesting a landscape driven by geological interests. Other specialized routes like Deseret Well Rd and Indian Feather Rd crisscross the townships, providing access to this high-desert environment where the local relief rises sharply from the basin floor to over 6,000 feet.
