About this map

Tooele and the northern reaches of the Oquirrh Mountains dominate this 2017 survey of the Tooele Valley. The landscape is a study in transition between the expanding residential grids of the city and the high peaks to the east, including Little Mtn and the steep drainages of Middle Canyon and Bates Canyon. The map reveals a sophisticated water management system for this arid environment, centered on the Settlement Canyon Reservoir and its associated canyon drainages, including the Left Hand Fork Settlement Canyon.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as the Tooele City Cem and the Erda Pioneer Cem, while the northern portion of the sheet shows the development of Erda near Bolinder Field-Tooele Valley Airport. The eastern slopes show the footprint of mining history and industry with labels like Smelter Rd and the Anaconda Hwy leading toward the mountains, providing a clear picture of how the local economy and infrastructure adapted to the regional topography.
