Pierruiat

The Pierruiat were Goshute people associated with Deep Creek, on the western side of the Deep Creek Mountains. Fifteen-Mile Creek and Spring Creek meet near Ibapah to form Deep Creek, which flows north toward the Great Salt Lake Desert. High peaks rise above the valley, where the Goshute found water and seasonal resources. Jedediah Smith crossed the broader Deep Creek country in 1827 during his search for a route across the Great Basin.
