Simpson Springs serves as the focal point of this arid landscape, situated at the edge of the Simpson Mountains within the vastness of Tooele County. The area is defined by its strategic isolation, highlighted by the presence of the West Desert Test Center, a military reservation that dominates much of the central terrain. Transportation through this remote stretch of the Great Salt Lake Desert relies on a network of unpaved corridors including Simpson Springs Rd and Simpson Buttes Rd, which navigate the space between prominent geological landmarks such as Simpson Buttes and Simpson Point.
