2014 Map of Wildcat Mountain

About this map

Wildcat Mtn dominates this isolated section of the Great Salt Lake Desert, rising sharply above the surrounding salt flats. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a landscape defined by extreme arid conditions, where the prominent peak serves as a solitary landmark for miles. To the west of the mountain, the Wildcat Dunes have formed against the base of the slopes, showing the accumulation of wind-blown sediments in this stark environment. The map captures the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t4s r13w and t5s r13w overlaying the natural features of Tooele County.
