2023 Map of Quincy Spring

About this map

Cedar Mountains dominate the western half of this map, reaching heights that overlook the wide basin of Skull Valley to the east. This transition from high desert peaks to valley floor is protected largely within the Cedar Mountain Wilderness, a landscape defined by its aridity and limited access. Important water sources like Quincy Spring and Eightmile Spring are critical landmarks in this environment, providing rare relief in an otherwise dry terrain. Transportation in the region is confined to primitive routes like Quincy Spring Rd and Rydalch Rd, which skirt the edges of the wilderness area. The map illustrates a modern state of land preservation where topographic relief and the location of natural springs dictate human movement and historical use across the Tooele County desert.
