2020 Map of Low

About this map

The Western Pacific Railroad ACS cuts a sharp diagonal through this Tooele County landscape, passing the small settlement of Low. This high-desert region is defined by the broad expanse of Puddle Valley, which sits between the rising slopes of the Cedar Mountains to the south and the Puddle Valley Knolls to the north. The transit corridor is the primary focus of human activity here, where modern infrastructure like Frontage Rd and Low Rd follows the historical path of the rails across the basin. Researchers can trace the secondary road network, including Aragonite Rd and Gravel Site Rd, as it branches off toward the base of Skunk Ridge. The topography illustrates the stark transition from the flat valley floor to the steep, complex drainage systems of the surrounding mountain ranges.
