 Goshen Valley in Utah
|
|
The Goshen Valley is a 17 miles (27 km) longvalley located in southern Utah County, Utah, and the valley forms part of its southeast border with the Wasatch Front, and parts of the Wasatch Range. The valley is an extension southwesterly of the Utah Valley.
A southern arm (Goshen Bay), of Utah Lake of Utah Valley bisects the valley, with western shore valley areas extending north to Mosida (site), at the south of the Lake Mountains. The valley's northeast on the southeast Goshen Bay lakeshore is bounded by West Mountain, an off-lying mountain of the Wasatch Range. East of West Mountain is the southernmost part of Utah Valley's southeast, and, northwest, west & southwest of West Mountain is the Goshen Valley.
The southwest of Goshen Valley is bounded by the East Tintic Mountains where County Line Ridge, and other peaks, form the southwest boundary of Utah County. Mountains southeast turn northeast to meet the south of Utah Valley, east of West Mountain.
Goshen, Utah lies in the valley's center-southeast; Santaquin is adjacent northeast, and near the southern end of West Mountain.
The Goshen Valley is mostly a flat triangular shape, extending north–south; the point southward lies between the intersecting mountain foothills and ridgelines on both sides. Northwest is the southwest shore of Utah Lake, where the valley extends past a south arm of the lake (Goshen Bay), to reach Mosida, which lies at the south end of the Lake Mountains. Low foothills border the valley there northwest, and are mostly a mountain spur region (trending northeast) from the East Tintic Mountains, but connecting to the Lake Mountains.
The northeast of the valley ends at southwest West Mountain; there, the mountain forms a 9-mile-long (14 km) spur as the eastern border of Goshen Bay, the lake extension south into Goshen Valley. Also at the southwest of West Mountain are foothills, and a marshy region, as well as White Lake, only 0.5 mi from Utah Lake, separated by a strip of land.
