About this map

Mining operations and high mountain peaks define this 1940s survey where Tooele and Juab counties meet. The East Tintic Mountains dominate the southern half of the sheet, anchored by Boulter Peak and Bismark Peak. The landscape is marked by industrial activity centered around Scranton Mine, which features notable Tailings in Barlow Canyon, alongside smaller claims like the Silver Dollar Mine and the aptly named Hot Stuff Mine.

Transport and topography follow the natural breaks in the range, most notably through Twelvemile Pass and along the Twelvemile Pass Road. To the north, the terrain transitions into the broad expanse of Rush Valley, while the eastern edge is defined by the steep Gardison Ridge. The map captures a moment when a remote network of a Jeep Trail and unimproved roads served as the primary connections between these isolated mining sites and the higher ridges.
