About this map

Onaqui Mountains and the Stansbury Mountains converge in this mid-1980s topographical study of Tooele County, Utah. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation crossing at Johnson Pass and the rugged drainage systems that feed into the surrounding valleys. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, represented by a network of named springs such as Stookey Spring, Willow Spring, and Pack Springs.

The small settlement of Terra stands as the primary human landmark on the western edge of the quadrangle, while the presence of a Trailer Park and a complex system of 4WD trails indicate the area's use for rural residency and recreation near the Wasatch National Forest. Geographers can trace the distinct names given to the various drainages, including Serviceberry Canyon, Chokecherry Canyon, and the dramatic Devils Gate Narrows, which illustrate the local nomenclature used by those who navigated these mountain passes.
