1953 Map of Dugway Range NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

High-altitude desert terrain and mining activity define this western Utah landscape, surveyed in the early 1950s. The topography is dominated by the Dugway Range and the expansive basin of Fish Springs Flat to the west. Industrial exploration is evident throughout the mountain peaks, where the Rainbow Mines, Four Metal Mine, and Cannon Mine are located alongside various unnamed shafts and prospects. This area marks a clear boundary between Tooele Co and Juab Co, illustrating a remote section of the Great Basin where mineral extraction was the primary human imprint. Water resources appear scarce in this environment, indicated by the singular Well No 28 positioned on the flat, highlighting the logistical challenges faced by early mid-century mining operations in the region.
