2017 Map of Utah Peak

About this map

Utah Peak stands as the prominent high point in this arid stretch of the Great Basin, marking the high ground above the Ferber Hills. The landscape is defined by the sharp jurisdictional division between Elko County, Nevada, and Tooele County, Utah, a boundary traced by Benchmark Rd as it cuts north-south through the desert. Transport in this isolated region relies on a network of unpaved routes like Ibapah Rd and Secondary Cave Rd, which navigate the drainage patterns of Ferber Wash. Water management in this high-desert environment is evidenced by the Ferber Reservoir Number One, located at the base of the hills. To the northeast, the terrain levels out near Rocky Point, illustrating the transition from the steep ridgelines of the peaks to the alluvial fans and dry washes typical of the eastern Nevada and western Utah borderlands.
