2023 Map of Puddle Valley Knolls

About this map

Puddle Valley dominates this arid landscape within Tooele County, where the terrain transitions from the low-lying valley floor to the rising slopes of the Lakeside Mountains. The map highlights a series of distinctive geological formations known as the Puddle Valley Knolls, which punctuate the open basin. Transportation is primarily limited to peripheral routes such as N Lakeside Dr in the north and a Frontage Rd skirting the southern elevations. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the isolated character of this region, providing a detailed look at Skunk Ridge and the complex contouring of the eastern mountain range.
