about us

CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE GOSHUTES

Deep Creek Corporation is wholly owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Goshutes in both Juab Country and Tooele counties in Utah.

The Goshute Tribal Lands lie close to the former Pony Express Trail (1860-1861). There is no available fuel, food, or lodging available. While the road into and out of town is paved, most roads in the area are not.

The Deep Creek name is derived from the mountain range the tribal lands reside on.
