2011 Map of Dromedary Peak

About this map

Alta sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where a dense concentration of mining remains meets modern recreation. The map documents an intensive industrial history through features like the Flagstaff Mine, Quincy Mines, and the Emma Tunnel, many located on the steep slopes of Flagstaff Mountain and Mount Superior. These operations are connected by a series of drainage and access points, including the Wasatch Drain Tunnel and Fredrick Tunnel. Beyond the silver and lead legacy, the terrain is defined by glacier-carved features such as Gad Valley and Peruvian Gulch. Water management is evident through the White Pine Dam and Silver Lake Flat Dam, while the transition to a destination for mountain sports is marked by the Alta Ski Area and the Snowbird Aerial Tram. Local history is anchored by the Alta City Cemetery, reflecting the enduring community in this alpine environment.
