About this map

Simpson Springs serves as a vital hydrological marker in this arid reach of Tooele County, situated at the base of the Simpson Mountains. The area is defined by a network of long-established desert routes, including the Simpson Springs Rd and the Simpson Springs-Callao Rd, which trace the historic movement of travelers across the West Desert. The topography transitions sharply from the broad drainage of Government Cr in the north to the elevated peaks of Grassy Mtn and the striking profiles of the Simpson Buttes to the west.

Industrial and county-maintained tracks such as tc03071 and the Simpson Canyon Rd provide access to the interior of Simpson Canyon, highlighting the importance of these mountain corridors for land management and exploration. The map detail illustrates the isolation and topographical complexity of Simpson Point and Davis Mtn, offering a clear view of the land as it appeared in the early 21st century.
