2011 Map of Quincy Spring

About this map

The western slopes of the Cedar Mountains define this arid landscape, where survival and movement depend on rare water sources. Quincy Spring sits tucked against the mountain range, while Eightmile Spring serves as a critical point farther east. These natural features are connected by the winding path of Rydalch Rd, a thoroughfare that navigates the high desert terrain. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the sparse infrastructure of this region in Tooele County, illustrating how modern mapping still relies on these perennial landmarks to define the geography of the Great Basin.
