2011 Map of North of Gold Hill Wash

About this map

Tank Wash provides the only named geographical reference point in this sparse high-desert landscape of Tooele County. Mapped in 2011, the terrain is characterized by subtle elevation shifts recorded with a ten-foot contour interval, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this arid basin. This document, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects the quiet, uninhabited stretches of western Utah where natural watercourses like the wash are the primary landmarks. The lack of built infrastructure or settlements highlights the isolation of this corner of the state, serving as a primary source for understanding the physical geography and hydrology of the region near the Nevada border.
