Rush Valley

The terrain around Rush Valley is an arid basin between the Oquirrh and Stansbury Mountains, which has shaped both its dispersed settlement pattern and local ranching. This small Tooele County community lies in Utah’s Basin and Range country, where mountain fronts rise abruptly from the dry valley floor. Nearby Camp Floyd State Park preserves the site of Camp Floyd, a U.S. Army post established in 1858 during the Utah War; it was abandoned in 1861 as troops were sent east at the start of the Civil War.
