About this map

The Simpson Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the border between Tooele Co and Juab Co crosses several remote peaks and canyons. Mapping here reveals a terrain defined by its water sources, with clusters of Springs such as Cherry Springs and Corral Spring providing critical water in an otherwise arid environment. The map details the complex drainage systems of Judd Creek, Lee Creek, and Meadow Creek, which carve deep canyons like Raul Canyon and Grassy Canyon.

Prospecting activity left its mark on these slopes during the late 20th-century revision, evidenced by the Bar X Mine and various scattered prospects and a shaft. These mining sites, concentrated near the southern end of the range, suggest a history of exploration for minerals beneath the rugged surface. Within the Wasatch National Forest, the map also identifies prominent landmarks like Lion Peak and Antelope Springs, serving as important reference points for surveyors and local historians tracking the development of public lands in western Utah.
