1973 Map of Clifton

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Pony Express and Overland Stage Route cuts diagonally across this high-desert landscape in Tooele County, marking a corridor of deep historical significance. This 1973 survey details the rugged eastern slopes of the Clifton Hills, where the small settlement of Clifton sits near a cluster of early mining operations including the Monacco Mine and Midas Mine. A Historical Marker and the Canyon Sta (Ruins) further south provide tangible evidence of the overland travel infrastructure that once connected this remote region. High peaks such as Montezuma Peak, Young Peak, and Abercrombie Peak define the skyline, overlooking a series of canyons and gulches like Trippe Gulch and Bagley Gulch. These landforms directed early movement and prospecting, as evidenced by the numerous unnamed mines and the Overland Trail winding through North Canyon toward the broad expanse of Clifton Flat.
