1955 Map of Dromedary Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The silver-mining settlement of Alta sits at the high-altitude junction of Little Cottonwood Canyon and Collins Gulch, serving as a central hub for an expansive network of subterranean operations in the mid-1950s. This survey records a landscape defined by intensive extraction, where tunnels like the Emma Tunnel and Wasatch Drain Tunnel pierce the ridges of the Wasatch National Forest. The map documents numerous historically significant claims, including the Cardiff Mine, Flagstaff Mine, and South Hecla Mine, alongside legacy sites such as the Quincy Mines.
