1937 Map of Delano Peak

About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this high-altitude 1937 survey, where the mining industry has left a heavy footprint across the Tushar Mountains. The map documents a cluster of significant silver and gold operations, including the Sevier Mine and Annie Laurie Mine near the settlements of Upper Kimberly and Lower Kimberly. These mountain camps were built around the rich veins of the Gold Mountain district, which transitioned into the more industrially focused aluminum mining seen at Alunite along Highway No 89. The landscape is a complex network of high peaks like Delano Peak and Mt Belknap, interspersed with alpine landmarks such as Puffer Lake and the dramatic Bullion Falls. From the Deer Creek Guard Sta to the scattered mining claims like the Bully Boy Mine, the map captures the late-stage development of a storied Utah mineral belt before many of these camps faded.
