About this map

Grantsville serves as the gateway to the high elevations of the Stansbury Mountains and the Tooele Valley in this modern topographical record. The transition from the residential street grid and industrial outskirts of town, including Wal-Mart Rd, into the protected landscapes of the Wasatch National Forest is clearly defined. The terrain is marked by a series of deep drainages such as Pope Canyon and White Rocks Canyon, which descend toward the valley floor.

In the southwest, the Deseret Peak Wilderness encompasses the highest peaks and the pristine North Willow Lake. Local water sources are vital to this arid environment, represented by named features like Coal Pit Spring and Black Bunch Spring. Evidence of human industry and exploration is found deep in the canyons at the Mining Fork of South Willow Canyon, while the local road network, including Davenport Canyon Rd, provides access to these high-mountain resources.
