About this map

Copperton sits at the foot of the Oquirrh Mountains, where the industrial scale of mining operations meets the residential sprawl of the Salt Lake Valley. This area illustrates a sharp transition from the steep, canyon-cut terrain of Bingham Canyon and Butterfield Canyon to the structured grid of modern suburban development. Water management is a primary feature of the landscape, evidenced by the Bingham Cr Reservoir and the massive Kennecott Eastside Leaching Reservoir situated near the town site.

Genealogists can find historic burial grounds including the Bingham City Cem and Herriman Cem, providing links to the early mining and ranching families of the region. The map tracks the drainage systems of Midas Cr and Barneys Cr as they flow east toward South Jordan and West Jordan. Smaller historical points like Robbe, Dalton, and Snyder are also noted, marking the early footprints of settlements that preceded the current suburban expansion in Herriman.
