1968 Map of Plug Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Stansbury Island rises sharply from the eastern shores of the Great Salt Lake in this late 1960s study, revealing a landscape defined by the intersection of steep canyons and vast shoreline deposits. The western half of the quadrangle is dominated by the prominence of Plug Peak and a series of drainage systems including Ben Allen Canyon, Cane Canyon, and Shanty Canyon. These steep slopes give way to a wide Mud Flat to the east, illustrating the fluctuating lake levels and the specialized industry found in this environment. Economic activity is represented by the Salt Evaporators at the southern edge and a nearby Pumping Station, while isolated water sources like Cane Spring and Shanty Spring mark vital points on the island's arid terrain. A single Trail and a Gravel Pit suggest the limited but present human footprint in this corner of Tooele County.
