About this map

The Simpson Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the borderlands between Tooele and Juab counties. This 2017 survey details the complex network of drainages and seasonal water sources that have sustained movement through this arid region for generations, including Iron Spring, Antelope Springs, and Cherry Springs. Rising sharply from the surrounding basins, peaks like Lion Peak overlook a system of deep canyons such as Raul Canyon, Rocky Canyon, and the appropriately named Death Canyon.

A small portion of the Wasatch National Forest occupies the northeast corner, where Dry Canyon and Government Creek define the upper slopes. The map traces modern access through primitive routes like Erickson Wash Road and Winter Range Road, following the natural contours of the terrain. The presence of numerous named canyons, from Broad Canyon to Footes Canyon, provides a detailed record of the topographic features used by ranchers and hunters in this remote part of the Great Basin.
