About this map

Cedar Mountains and the expanse of Skull Valley define this high-desert landscape in Tooele County. Captured through aerial photography in the early 1950s, the terrain is marked by a network of drainage systems and high points, most notably Tabbys Peak and the nearby Black Knoll. The map reveals a reliance on sparse water sources in this arid environment, documenting specific sites like Tabbys Spring, Rydalch Spr, and Cochran Spring along the mountain flanks.

Travel through the range is shown via steep corridors such as Rydalch Pass and Sixmile Pass Canyon. A system of unimproved routes and a designated Jeep Trail provide the only access through Wildcat Canyon and the surrounding slopes. This survey provides a precise record of the topography and land management boundaries of the eastern Great Basin before modern development or road improvements reached this portion of the valley.
