About this map

Utah Peak dominates the high ground of the borderlands where Tooele County, Utah, meets Elko County, Nevada. This high-desert landscape is defined by the arid drainage systems of Ferber Wash and the prominent elevations of the Ferber Hills. The terrain is marked by a network of rural routes, including Ibapah Rd and Secondary Cave Rd, which navigate the varying elevations between the flats and the summits.

Water management in this sparse environment is evidenced by Ferber Reservoir Number One, a critical infrastructure point in an otherwise dry drainage basin. The map captures the precise intersection of state and county boundaries, illustrating how political lines bisect physical landmarks like the mountain ridges and Rocky Point. This survey provides a clear view of the geographic isolation and specialized infrastructure required for this high-altitude desert region.
