2017 Map of Hickman Knolls

About this map

Skull Valley defines the expansive, arid character of this portion of Tooele County, where the desert landscape is punctuated by isolated topographic rises. The most prominent of these is Hickman Knolls, a cluster of peaks rising from the valley floor in the southeast. This 2017 survey illustrates the sparse human footprint in this high-desert environment, where transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like Waterhole Rd and New Antelope Rd. The map is structured primarily by the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of t4s r9w, t4s r8w, t5s r9w, and t5s r8w. The lack of established settlements or industrial infrastructure highlights the region's role as open rangeland or protected desert territory.
