About this map

The small community of Terra is the primary settlement in this portion of Tooele County, situated at the base of high terrain where the Wasatch National Forest begins. This landscape is defined by the transition from the arid expanse of the basin into the rugged foothills, marked by vital water sources such as Jenning Springs, Willow Patch Springs, and Cold Spring. These points of permanent water likely dictated early land use and settlement patterns in an otherwise parched environment.

Transportation history is particularly evident here, as the map records the paths of both the Lincoln Hwy and the Old Lincoln Hwy. These routes, along with Skull Valley Rd, illustrate the evolution of transit through the region. To the east, the topography becomes more dramatic with features like Deadman Canyon and Barlow Hollow carving through the slopes, while Condie Meadows provides a level break in the rising elevation of the forest boundary.
