2014 Map of Peplin Flats

About this map

The high desert terrain of Box Elder County is defined by prominent peaks like Baker Mtn and Peplin Mtn, which rise above the expansive Peplin Flats. This 2014 survey captures a landscape of remote mountain ranges and vital desert water sources, such as Peplin Pond. The presence of Emigrant Trail Rd suggests the enduring historical significance of this corridor for western migration, tracing a path through the basin between Table Mtn and the southern Baker Hills. Small settlements such as Peplin and Ombey serve as quiet outposts in an area primarily crisscrossed by specialized routes like Peplin Mountain Rd and the Baker Mountain Loop. These roads facilitate movement through the varied elevations of the t11n r12w township, where the topography transitions from flat basins to the steep slopes of Crocodile Mtn in the southeast.
