2017 Map of Puddle Valley Knolls

About this map

Puddle Valley dominates this Tooele County landscape, showing the arid basin floor defined by subtle elevation shifts and isolated landforms. Central to this area are the Puddle Valley Knolls, a series of small, distinct rises that break the flat valley bottom between the larger mountain ranges. The northern portion of the map is traversed by N Lakeside Dr, while a Frontage Rd skirts the eastern boundary near Skunk Ridge. This 2017 survey reflects the contemporary topographic detail of the Great Salt Lake Desert periphery, where land management and natural terrain dictate the layout of the sparse road network. The map reveals the intricate contouring of the knolls, providing a precise record of these geologic features in an area where even minor changes in relief serve as critical landmarks for navigation and land use.
