2020 Map of Bingham Canyon

About this map

The Oquirrh Mountains form a high-altitude spine along the border of Tooele and Salt Lake counties, punctuated by significant summits like Nelson Peak and Clipper Peak. This industrial and wilderness landscape is deeply tied to the regional mining history, as evidenced by the Utah Metal Company Tunnel cutting through the peaks. In the southeastern portion of the map, the headwaters of Bingham Canyon and its associated Dry Fork Bingham Canyon reveal the complex topography of a world-famous mining district. A single cemetery, Chandler Cem, sits near the forks of the canyon, providing a small but vital link for genealogists tracking the families who lived and worked in these steep drainage systems. Primitive and secondary roads such as Anaconda Rd and Pole Line Rd follow the contours of the numerous hollows and gulches, including Bear Hollow and Baltimore Gulch.
