2014 Map of Timpie

About this map

Skull Valley dominates the central landscape of this Great Salt Lake region, where the arid basin floor meets the rising elevations of the Stansbury Mountains. The mapping of this corridor in the early 21st century reveals a landscape defined by its critical water sources, including Delle Springs, Big Spring, and Burnt Spring, which have long dictated movement and settlement patterns in this desert environment. Small settlements like Timpie and Lone Rock serve as anchor points along a transportation network that includes Skull Valley Rd and Waterfowl Rd. To the northeast, the shoreline of Stansbury Bay marks the edge of the basin, while the interior is carved by features such as Muskrat Canyon and Lone Rock Basin. This topographical record captures the area's transition from high mountain ridges to the salt-influenced flats, showing the infrastructure of power lines and rural roads that service the basin.
