2014 Map of Utah Peak

About this map

Utah Peak anchors this high-desert landscape on the border of Utah and Nevada, where the state line bisects the high ground between Elko and Tooele counties. The terrain is defined by the arid drainages of Ferber Wash and the surrounding Ferber Hills, indicating a region shaped by intermittent water and sparse grazing or mining activity. A lonely industrial marker, Owl Hill Well Number 1, stands out in the western foothills, while Ferber Reservoir Number One provides a rare point of managed water in the south. The transition from the alluvial fans near Dead Cedar Rd to the prominent rise of Rocky Point illustrates the stark topography of the Great Basin. This survey records the remote infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the lonely reaches of Rocky Point Rd to the complex boundary intersections that define this interstate frontier.
