About this map

Ferber Hills and the prominent summit of Utah Peak dominate this landscape along the border where Elko and Tooele counties meet. The terrain is defined by the extensive drainage system of Ferber Wash, which snakes through the northern and western sections of the quadrangle. In this high-desert environment, water management is evident at Ferber Reservoir Number One, a small but vital feature in the southwestern corner.

Transportation through this isolated section of the Great Basin relies on unimproved routes like Ibapah Rd and Secondary Cave Rd. The map illustrates the sparse infrastructure characteristic of the region, where surveying lines for t29n r70e and t28n r70e provide the primary organizational structure for the land. Landforms such as Rocky Point serve as localized landmarks in a territory where elevation and dry washes dictate the movement of both people and livestock.
