2017 Map of Onaqui Mountains South

About this map

Onaqui Mountains dominate this central Utah landscape, where steep canyons and high ridges transition into the flat expanse of Rush Valley. This 2017 survey documents a network of utility corridors and historical travel routes, most notably the Pony Express Rd crossing through the southern reaches near Little Valley. The map reveals the critical importance of water in this arid environment, marking vital sources like Hellhole Spring, Two Spring, and Rock Canyon Spring tucked into the mountain folds. Local nomenclature reflects the terrain and early settlement, with labels such as Davis Knolls, Skull Faust Canyon, and Burnt Canyon providing geographical context for researchers and genealogists. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Aqueduct Rd and several transmission lines, showing how the land continues to serve as a corridor for resource management.
