1955 Map of Dromedary Peak

About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by intensive mining and the high alpine peaks of the Wasatch Range. The settlement of Alta serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of historical claims and workings including the Emma Tunnel, Flagstaff Mine, and South Hecla Mine. The complexity of the local geology is traced through numerous drainage systems like Little Cottonwood Canyon and the Mineral Fork, where high-altitude basins such as Mineral Basin and Gad Valley were actively being mapped and worked.
