1968 Map of Craner Peak

About this map

Lakeside Mountains dominate the western half of this Tooele County survey, creating a sharp vertical divide against the expansive Mud Flat and Lakeside Valley to the east. This era of high-desert industry is documented through the presence of the Marblehead Quarry in the southwest and the Monarch Mine tucked into the eastern foothills of the range. The scarcity of water in this arid environment is highlighted by a network of isolated water sources, including Monarch Well, Indian Well, and Craner Spring, which likely supported local ranching or prospecting operations. The map also records the location of the Old Wrathall Well (Site), suggesting a point of historical activity near the county line. Navigating this landscape was facilitated by a rugged Jeep Trail that winds through the canyons, connecting remote points like Beards Hollow and Sheep Canyon.
