About this map

The Simpson Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Tooele County, rising abruptly from the surrounding basins. This 2023 survey provides a clear look at the drainage patterns of the Indian Peaks and the northern reaches of the Wasatch National Forest. The map captures the transition from the broad flats of Skull Valley in the northeast to the steep, dissected terrain of Log Canyon and Rock Canyon in the southeast.

Hydrological features are central to the geography here, including the intermittent flow of Government Creek and Lee Creek, alongside vital water sources like Winter Springs and Toms Spring. Navigation through this arid region is defined by the Simpson Springs Rd and the Simpson Mountain Access 1 Rd, which provide passage into the mountainous interior. This modern edition maps the complex network of forest roads and trails, such as tc03031 and tc03021, that facilitate movement through the rugged topography.
