Skull Valley is a 40-mile (64 km) long[1] valley located in east Tooele County, Utah, United States at the southwest of the Great Salt Lake.[2] The valley trends north–south, but turns slightly northeast to meet Stansbury Bay, (adjacent Stansbury Island).
Skull Valley's south and southwest borders the southeast Great Salt Lake Desert at Dugway and at a ridgeline southeast from the Cedar Mountains.
The Skull Valley Indian Reservation is located in the valley's south at the southwest foothills of the Stansbury Mountains; adjacent southeast, the valley narrows between the Stansbury Mountains and the Cedar Mountains at the west, a region of creeks from the Stansburys and valley springs, Willow Patch Springs and Scribner Spring. Creeks and springs from the northwest Onaqui Mountains also feed the southeast valley region.
