2017 Map of Vernon

About this map

Vernon serves as the central hub of this high-desert landscape in Tooele County, where the valley floor meets the northern reaches of the Sheeprock Mountains. This map highlights a transition from the agricultural and research-oriented lands of the Benmare Experimental Pastures to the protected timber and rangelands of the Wasatch National Forest. Local history is anchored by the Vernon Cem and the distinctive Chief Green Jacket Grave, located near the southeastern corner. Water management is a primary theme of the terrain, evidenced by the numerous drainages like Dutch Creek and Faust Creek, as well as the Vernon Creek - Old Aqueduct, which traces the historical movement of water from the mountains toward the settlement and the Vernon Hills.
