2020 Map of Timpie

About this map

Skull Valley dominates the western half of this Tooele County landscape, where the salt flats and wetlands of Stansbury Bay meet the rising slopes of the Stansbury Mountains. The area around Timpie is defined by its transition from the Great Salt Lake shoreline to the desert floor, marked by essential water sources like Big Spring and Delle Springs. These springs were critical waypoints in a landscape historically defined by its scarcity of water, supporting both the regional livestock economy and early transportation routes. Local utility and infrastructure are evident through the paths of Powerline Rd and Aquaduct Rd, while the eastern terrain grows more complex around Muskrat Canyon. The presence of several basins, including Lone Rock Basin and Long Rock Basin, highlights the rugged geological character of the valley floor before it ascends into the high peaks of the eastern range.
