1968 Map of Craner Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Lakeside Mountains and the arid expanse of Lakeside Valley define this 1968 orthophotomap near the border of Box Elder and Tooele counties. The landscape is marked by the distinct tracks of a Jeep Trail winding through rugged canyons and past high points like Jedediah Mtn and Craner Peak. Industrial and ranching history is evident in the presence of the Marblehead Quarry and the Monarch Mine, while the scattered wells—including the Old Wrathall Well (Site) and Johnson Well—illustrate the critical importance of water management in this desert environment. The use of an orthophotomosaic base provides a rare perspective of the native vegetation and geology as it appeared during the late 1960s, showing the precise relationship between narrow mountain passes like Beards Hollow and the expansive Mud Flat.
