1997 Map of Bingham Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Oquirrh Mountains dominate this survey, revealing the massive industrial footprint of the Copper Pit Mine on the eastern slopes. This era shows the dramatic contrast between the high peaks, such as Nelson Peak and Clipper Peak, and the heavy engineering required to extract minerals from the range. Industrial infrastructure is prominent throughout the canyons, including the Bingham West Dip Tunnel, the Apex Shaft, and a Sme Ter facility near the settlement of International. The map documents a transition in mountain transport, showing both an active Tramway and a Tramway (Abandoned) winding through the steep terrain of Pine Canyon and Dry Canyon. Along the western foothills, the landscape opens into the Tooele Valley, where the drainage patterns of Bates Canyon and Swensons Creek provide a sharp geological counterpoint to the open-pit mining operations nearby.
