1949 Map of Allens Ranch

About this map

Cedar Valley opens toward the north of this 1940s landscape, while the southern terrain is dominated by significant mining activity and high ridges. The map documents a critical era of mineral extraction, specifically naming operations like the Tintic Paymaster No 2, Tintic Empire, and Selma Mine. These sites are clustered along the Homansville Road, suggesting the industrial focus of the region during this period. Beyond the mines, the landscape is defined by several strategic gaps and elevations, including Rattlesnake Pass and Chimney Rock Pass. Allens Ranch serves as a central landmark at the crossroads of these hills and the valley floor. The network of trails, such as the Tenmile Pass Road and Twelvemile Pass Road, highlights the established routes through the mountainous topography, connecting various canyons and summits like Bismark Hill.
