The name "Low" may have derived from its location on a low pass between the Cedar Mountains to the south, and the Grassy Mountains to the north. Local water was unavailable so the camp was abandoned in 1955. A scattering of ruins remain.[2] The Low Flight Strip is an abandoned military airfield located approximately {{convert|13|mi|km}} west of Low. Interstate 80 runs west of low, and Exit 60 is known as "Low Interchange". The "Low Transportation Corridor" or "Low Rail Corridor" both refer to a proposed rail line to carry spent nuclear fuel from the Union Pacific mainline at the junction of Interstate 80 near the Low Interchange, to the Skull Valley Indian Reservation, across {{convert|1593|acre}} of Bureau of Land Management land within the Skull Valley.[3][4] References1. ^1 2 {{gnis|1437626}} 2. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z3Pqk9tazU4C&lpg=PP1&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=Utah Place Names|last=Van Cott|first=John W.|publisher=University of Utah Press|location=Salt Lake City|page=236|year=1990|isbn=9780874803457}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML0037/ML003728944.pdf|title=STATE OF UTAH'S CONTENTIONS RELATING TO THE LOW RAIL TRANSPORTATION LICENSE AMENDMENT|website=nrc.gov|publisher=U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission|format=PDF|date=29 Sep 1998}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.deq.utah.gov/Issues/topics/highlevelwaste/docs/2006/May/X3DeclBraxtonFnl.pdf|title=DECLARATION OF JEAN BRAXTON|website=deq.utah.gov|publisher=Utah Department of Environmental Quality|format=PDF|year=2006}} External links{{commons category-inline|Low, Utah}}{{Tooele County, Utah}}{{Utah-geo-stub}} 2 : Ghost towns in Tooele County, Utah|Ghost towns in Utah |
