2017 Map of Ochre Mountain

About this map

Ochre Mountain dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Great Basin landscape, situated in Tooele County along the Utah-Nevada border. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where the high ridges of Twin Peaks overlook the wide, arid expanses of White Sage Flat and the Deep Creek Valley. This 2017 survey details a network of desert routes, including the Upper Gold Hill Rd and Little Valley Junction Rd, which navigate the various washes and gulches that characterize the region's hydrology. Water features such as Deep Cr and Bar Cr highlight the drainage patterns through Gerster Gulch and Ferber Wash. This area, known for its mining history, is represented here by features like Gold Hill Pass and numerous designated Bureau of Land Management routes, providing a modern look at a historically significant mining district.
