1998 Map of Lofgreen

About this map

Lofgreen sits at the base of the mountains in Tooele County, marking a vital point of intersection between the high country and the broad expanse of Rush Valley. This landscape is defined by its transition from the structured drainages of Brush Creek and Dog Hollow Creek to the open ranching and grazing lands. The presence of several family-named landmarks, such as Pehrson and Dunbar, along with Cummings Well, suggests a history of localized settlement centered on water access and livestock management. Portions of the map are Administered by Uinta National Forest, where the terrain climbs into the steep draws of Sharpes Valley. The network of 4wd tracks and numerous prospect pits and a quarry near the Vernon Hills indicate a history of small-scale mineral exploration and resource extraction typical of the eastern Great Basin range.
