1949 Map of Boulter Mts

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Scranton sits at the head of Scranton Canyon, serving as a focal point for the mining activity that once defined this section of the Boulter Mountains. By the late 1940s, when these aerial photographs were field-checked, the many mining operations throughout the range were noted as abandoned. The landscape is a complex of high ridges and deep drainages, including Mill Canyon, Miners Canyon, and Barlow Canyon, which descend toward the floor of Rush Valley. This 1949 edition captures a transition in land use, showing the precise locations of the Scranton Mine, Hot Stuff Mine, and New Bullion Mine before their physical remains faded. The intersection of Tooele, Utah, and Juab counties occurs within these peaks, near landmarks like Bismark Hill and the seasonal basin of Dry Lake.
