About this map

Allens Ranch sits at the base of the East Tintic Mountains, anchoring a landscape defined by livestock operations and early mid-century mineral extraction. This 1947 survey, with revisions updated in 1969, reveals a network of rough roads and trails traversing the southern Cedar Valley. The terrain is punctuated by significant volcanic and limestone formations including Bismark Peak and the prominent Wanlass Hill.

Evidence of the region's mining heritage is clear with labels for the Selma Mine and Tritic Paymaster No. 2, while the presence of a Landing Strip near the ranch suggests the increasing importance of aerial access in these remote Utah basins. Strategic mountain crossings like Greeley Pass and Rattlesnake Pass show how early travel routes, including the Twelvemile Pass Road, navigated the breaks between the valley floor and the surrounding heights of Greeley Hill and Blowhole Hill.
