2010 Map of Ripple Valley

About this map

Ripple Valley stretches across this portion of Tooele County, representing the expansive arid basins characteristic of western Utah. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey focuses on the transition between the valley floor and the surrounding high ground, primarily highlighting the infrastructure that facilitates transit through this desert landscape. Modern travel is centered on the southern edge of the sheet, where Frontage Rd parallels a major transportation corridor. The intersection with Hastings Pass Rd provides a historical echo of the old pioneer trails that once navigated these passes. This map serves as a precise record of the road network and terrain contours during the early 21st century, prior to further regional development.
