About this map

The Stansbury Mountains and Onaqui Mountains converge in this high-desert landscape of Tooele County, forming a rugged corridor defined by the Johnson Pass crossing. The small settlement of Terra sits at the western edge of the mountains, overlooking the broad expanse of Skull Valley. This area serves as a critical water source for the arid region, evidenced by numerous named flows including Caldwell Spring, Willow Springs, and Pack Springs.

Evidence of the transition from forest management to open valley floor is clear where the Wasatch National Forest boundary meets private lands. Natural landmarks like Devils Gate Narrows and Cap Peak punctuate the topography, while the southern reaches near The Dell show the drainage patterns of Settlement Canyon and Burridge Canyon. The map captures a high-elevation environment where winding roads like Johnson Pass Rd navigate the steep relief between the peaks.
