About this map

Hamiltons Fort and the agricultural lands of Cedar Valley anchor the southeastern corner of this mid-century landscape, where the valley floor meets the iron-rich terrain of the Eightmile Hills. The topography reveals a dual economy of ranching and extraction, as the Union Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the basin, serving both the small settlement of Halivah and the numerous mineral operations to the west. Mining activity is concentrated in the northern highlands, marked by the Smith Mine, Vermilion Mine, and the Great Western Mine. To the south, the terrain shifts into the marshy expanse of Quichapa Lake and The Bottoms, fed by Shirts Creek. This survey captures the region as it transitioned between early industrial mining and established mid-century infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of the KSUB Radio Towers and the primary road network.
