2014 Map of Vernon

About this map

Vernon sits at the intersection of rural life and federal land management in Tooele County. This agricultural settlement is framed by the Vernon Hills to the northeast and the foothills of the Sheeprock Mountains to the southwest. The presence of the Benmore Experimental Pastures and the sprawling Wasatch National Forest boundaries illustrates the area's long-standing reliance on rangeland and timber resources. Local history is anchored by the Vernon Cem and the specific landmark of the Chief Green Jacket Grave near Benmore. Water is a defining factor in this arid landscape, with various drainages such as Vernon Cr, Faust Cr, and Dutch Cr feeding the valley floor. The road network, including names like Sage Flat Rd and Old Aqueduct Rd, reflects both modern transit and historical infrastructure needs in this high-desert environment.
