1952 Map of Bingham Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Oquirrh Mountains dominate this industrial and geological landscape, defined by the massive operations of the Copper Pit Mine. This survey captures the intensive extraction efforts in the mid-20th century, where the mountainside is transformed by a network of tunnels including the Bingham West Dip Tunnel, Apex Tunnel, and Highland Tunnel. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the heavy rail presence of the Bingham and Garfield and the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads, which served the massive Smelter and associated Waste Dump facilities.
