About this map

Pehrson and Lofgreen anchor this high-desert landscape in Tooele County, representing the scattered settlement patterns of the eastern Great Basin. The topography is defined by the broad drainage basins of Sabie Creek and Boulter Creek, which flow through the expansive Sharpes Valley. These watercourses, along with smaller tributaries like Brush Creek and Dog Hollow Creek, dictate the placement of ranch roads and rural infrastructure in an area where water is the primary geographic constraint.

Transportation history is etched into the terrain via the Railroad Bed Rd, which traces a former rail alignment on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Other routes, such as Vernon Hills Rd and Helper Rd, connect the small community of Dunbar with the surrounding slopes. The presence of Black Rock Cyn further illustrates the varied relief that characterizes this transition from valley floor to rising hills.
