2023 Map of Low

About this map

Low sits at a critical junction in the Tooele County desert where the Western Pacific Railroad Ags cuts through the gap between the Cedar Mountains and the Grassy Mountains. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape defined by the logistics of transport and preservation, with the modern transit corridor of Frontage Rd running parallel to the historic rail line. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the protected peaks of the Cedar Mountain Wilderness, providing a stark topographical contrast to the expansive, flat basin of Puddle Valley to the north. Smaller landmarks like Skunk Ridge and utilitarian features such as Gravel Site Rd and Aragonite Rd indicate the area's continued use for resource access and travel through this arid interior basin of the Great Salt Lake Desert.
