2020 Map of Terra

About this map

Skull Valley defines the arid landscape of this 2020 survey, where the small settlement of Terra sits at the edge of the Wasatch National Forest. The map documents a critical corridor of western transportation history, showing both the modern Lincoln Hwy and segments of the Old Lincoln Hwy as they traverse the desert floor. Water is the primary driver of life here, marked by a series of vital desert watering points including Cold Spring, Big Spring, Scribner Spring, and Jenning Springs. To the northeast, the terrain rises into the national forest, featuring named landmarks like Condie Meadows, Barlow Hollow, and Deadman Canyon. This modern digital survey provides a precise record of how historic transit routes and natural springs continue to shape the geography of Tooele County.
