About this map

Hastings Pass cuts through the high desert terrain of the Cedar Mountains in Tooele County, marking a location defined by its isolation and topographical relief. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote interior of the range, where the primary human footprint consists of unpaved access routes like Aragonite Rd and Cedar Mt Rd. These roads follow the contours of the dry mountain slopes, tracing the same corridors used by travelers for generations.

Water sources are scarce in this arid landscape, making features such as Redlam Spring and Henry Spring critical landmarks for both historical travel and modern land management. The map details the steep elevation changes around the pass, providing a precise record of the physical geography that has dictated movement through this portion of the Great Basin. The network of local connectors, including Hastings Pass Rd, serves as the only link between the desert floor and the interior of the mountains.
