About this map

The Onaqui Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Tooele County, where the settlement of Terra sits at the western edge of the range. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Chokecherry Canyon, Saint Jeor Canyon, and Burridge Canyon, which all cut through the mountain slopes. Crucial water sources like Stookey Springs, Caldwell Spring, and Rock Spring provide the only reliability in this arid environment, anchoring the geography for local ranchers and hunters.

Transportation through the mountains is dictated by the natural topography, most notably at Johnson Pass and the tight corridor of Devils Gate Narrows. To the north, a portion of the Wasatch National Forest extends into the quadrangle, while the southern reaches open into The Dell. The map details the network of local routes such as Vickory Mountain Rd and Big Hollow Rd that connect these remote canyons and springs.
