2014 Map of Wig Mountain

About this map

The vast Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this arid landscape in the west, meeting the high relief of Wig Mtn as it rises sharply from the basin floor. This 2014 survey documents the stark isolation of the region, where the eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the rugged slopes of the Cedar Mountains. Human infrastructure is sparse, characterized primarily by the track of N Wig Mountain Rd which skirts the base of the central peak. The map captures the complex topography of the range and the surrounding salt flats, illustrating the intersection of the Great Basin's iconic landforms. This area serves as a primary reference for the physical geography of Tooele County's high desert, showing the precise township and range boundaries including t5s r11w and t6s r11w across the uninhabited terrain.
