About this map

Tooele Valley meets the southern waters of the Great Salt Lake in this 2011 survey, showing the residential expansion and irrigation systems at the edge of the desert. The planned community of Stansbury Park dominates the southern portion of the map, centered around the man-made Stansbury Lake and the adjacent Mill Pond. These water features, alongside the Irrigation Canal and nearby Mill Pond Farm, illustrate the intensive water management required for settlement in this arid landscape.

Local landmarks such as Adobe Rock stand out against the valley floor, while the northeastern corner shows the infrastructure of the Lake Point Interchange near the settlement of Lago. Genealogists will find the Lake Point Cemetery situated just south of the community of Lake Point, providing a fixed point of reference for family research in this part of Tooele County. The map also delineates the coastal geography of the shoreline, including Fremont Strait and Eardley Spit.
