2014 Map of South Mountain

About this map

South Mtn stands as a prominent divide between Tooele Valley to the north and Rush Valley to the south. This 2014 survey documents the complex water network of the high desert basin, including the expansive Rush Lake and the intermittent flows of Hickman Cr and Clover Cr. The landscape is a mix of traditional ranching outposts like Youngs Ranch and Morgan Ranch, alongside modern residential road networks such as Cedarline Loop and W Silver Ave. Transport history is layered across the terrain, from the legacy of the Mormon Trail Rd in the northwest to the active Pacific Rail Rd corridor in the southeast. Geographic features like East Hickman Canyon and Welch Canyon demonstrate the drainage patterns that feed into the valley floor near Warm Spring.
