About this map

The Simpson Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Tooele and Juab Counties, where water sources like Indian Springs and Antelope Springs historically dictated the movement of people and livestock. A network of canyons, including Raul Canyon, Lost Canyon, and Footes Canyon, radiates from central peaks like Lion Peak, revealing a terrain carved by seasonal drainage. The presence of a Corral and Lee Cr Pass Rd points to the area's continued use for rangeland management within the arid interior.

Boundaries between the Wasatch National Forest and public lands are clearly marked, showing the transition from forest management to the open drainages of Death Canyon Wash and Judd Cr. These ephemeral waterways, such as Meadow Cr and Indian Cr, illustrate the complex hydrography of the Great Basin, where even isolated features like Iron Spring and Cherry Springs serve as vital landmarks for navigation and land use.
