2017 Map of Stockton

About this map

The Oquirrh Mountains dominate the landscape east of the Tooele Valley, where the settlements of Stockton and Bauer sit near the distinctive Stockton Bar formation. This 2017 study illustrates a region deeply defined by its mining heritage, evidenced by the network of historical access routes such as the Southport Mining Rd, Calumet Mine Rd, and Dry Canyon Mining Rd. These paths wind through steep drainages like Ben Harrison Gulch and Southport Gulch, climbing toward high-altitude landmarks including Edwards Pass and Tooele Peak. The transition from valley floor to rugged peaks is marked by the Stockton Cem and numerous named canyons like Kelsey Canyon and Settlement Canyon. Hydrological features such as Soldier Cr and Buckhorn Spring provide vital water points in this arid environment, while the grid of modern streets in Stockton contrasts with the winding Atv TRL and Orv TRL tracks that serve today's backcountry users.
