1903 Map of Coalville

About this map

Coalville and the Weber River valley serve as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in this high-altitude landscape of early twentieth-century Utah. The Union Pacific R. R. and its Park City Branch navigate the winding canyons, linking mining hubs like Park City to the broader regional economy. The presence of the Ontario Drain Tunnel near the southwestern corner highlights the significance of industrial mining engineering in draining the silver-rich depths of the district. Agricultural life is concentrated in the well-watered flats of Rhodes Valley and The Meadows, where communities like Kamas, Marion, and Oakley are established. To the east, the vast expanse of the Wasatch National Forest dominates the terrain, with high peaks and deep drainages like Chalk Creek and the South Fork leading toward the Uinta National Forest boundary.
