2011 Map of Miners Canyon

About this map

Hastings Trl cuts across the arid landscape of the Pilot Creek Valley, following a historic path through this remote portion of Tooele County. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of the Pilot Range to the west, where drainage features like Miners Canyon and Willow Canyon descend toward the salt flats. Water is the critical element for any traveler in this environment, marked here by isolated points such as Miners Spring, Salt Spring, and Little Salt Spring. These vital water sources, along with the landmark at Window Rock, emphasize the survival-oriented geography that has dictated movement through this region since the days of early migration. Modern access is primarily represented by Pilot Peak Rd, which skirts the edge of Halls Meadow and the seasonal flow of Pilot Creek.
