1980 Map of South Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

South Mountain dominates the center of this landscape, rising above the arid expanse of Rush Valley in Tooele County. The terrain reflects a mix of military presence and resource extraction, with the Tooele Army Depot occupying the northern edge of the quadrangle while various industrial sites like the Morgan Gravel Pit and a hillside Quarry dot the slopes and plains. Water is a defining yet scarce feature, seen in the seasonal reaches of Hickman Creek and the southern tip of Rush Lake. Small springs and wells are scattered across the valley floor, marking essential points of habitation or livestock support in this high-desert environment. To the south and west, the map details several canyons such as Welch Canyon and Hickman Canyon, alongside the Union Pacific rail line that skirts the eastern edge of the valley.
