About this map

Simpson Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape on the border of Tooele and Juab counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent drainages and peaks, including Lion Peak and the deep recesses of Indian Canyon and Death Canyon. Water sources are the critical landmarks in this arid environment, with Indian Springs, Cherry Springs, Iron Spring, and Antelope Springs appearing as vital points of interest for livestock and early travel.

A network of backcountry routes provides access to these isolated canyons, with Pass Rd and Erickson Pass Rd navigating the northern heights while Death Cyn Rd and River Bottom Valley Rd trace the lower elevations to the south. The mapping of named features like Broad Canyon and Footes Canyon reflects the long history of ranching and land use in this part of the Great Basin, where named springs often served as the primary hubs for regional activity.
