1947 Map of Boulter Peak

About this map

The East Tintic Mountains dominate this 1940s landscape, serving as a boundary-marked frontier where Tooele, Utah, and Juab counties meet. This survey captures a mid-century mining environment where specialized operations such as the Scranton Mine and the evocatively named Hot Stuff Mine were etched into the steep drainages of Scranton Canyon and its neighbors. The terrain is defined by a series of deep cuts, including Broad Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon, which funnel toward the wider desert basins of Rush Valley and Cedar Valley.
