1952 Map of Bingham Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Copper Pit Mine dominates the landscape of the Oquirrh Mountains, revealing the massive industrial footprint of mid-century Utah. This 1952 survey, updated with photorevisions through the 1970s, illustrates the complex infrastructure required for large-scale extraction, including the Bingham West Dip Tunnel, Apex Shaft, and several other named tunnels like the Highland Tunnel. The map captures the physical displacement of the earth through extensive Waste Dump sites and the specialized Smelter facility at International.
