Valley Description
Rush Valley narrows to about 7-mi wide in the north, between the Stansbury Mountains west, and the Oquirrh Mountains east. The valley widens in the south, making two sections, a due-south section and a region to the southeast. The southern section contains the communities of Vernon and Faust, with Faust north, closer to the valley's center-south. Vernon is in flatlands fed by the Sheeprock Mountains or foothills, southwest, south and southeast.
The southeast valley section is 16-mi long from the Rush Valley center, and lies at the northwest of the East Tintic Mountains. A ridge north separates Rush Valley from Cedar Valley to the east. Lofgreen is in mountain foothills southwest, and Pehrson with Topliff are in lower elevation regions.
The two southern sections cover a width of about 15-mi, south of the valley center. The Rush Valley centerpoint is north of Faust, and the small James Walter Fitzgerald Wildlife Management Area.
