2020 Map of Lookout Pass

About this map

Lookout Pass serves as a critical geographic pivot point where the Onaqui Mountains meet the Sheeprock Mountains in this modern topographic study. The map traces the historical path of the Pony Express Rd, which skirts the northern edge of the peaks, transitioning from Little Valley toward the expansive Rush Valley. This corridor remains a vital link through the high desert, maintaining the original transit patterns established over a century ago. To the south, the landscape is defined by the protected boundaries of the Wasatch National Forest, where steep drainages like Rock Canyon and North Pine Canyon descend from Red Pine Mtn. The presence of scattered water sources such as Hill Spring, Copper Spring, and Coyote Spring highlights the precious nature of hydrology in this high-elevation terrain, dictating the placement of primitive routes like Sheeprock Front Rd and Fenceline Rd.
