2011 Map of Onaqui Mountains South

About this map

Onaqui Mountains topography defines this portion of Tooele County, where the high desert terrain transitions into the broad expanse of Rush Valley. The landscape is etched by seasonal drainage systems and canyons, including Skull Faust Canyon and Burnt Canyon, which lead toward the valley floor. Water sources are sparse but critical markers in this arid environment, evidenced by Hellhole Spring and Two Spring in the northern reaches, and Rock Canyon Spring further south. The presence of the historic Pony Express Rd cutting through Little Valley highlights the area's significance as a transit corridor. Ranching and local travel are supported by a network of primitive roads, such as Hatch Ranch Rd and S Johnson Ln, which skirt the base of Little Mountain and follow the natural contours of East Faust Creek.
