About this map

The Sheeprock Mountains dominate this 1963 survey, revealing a landscape defined by mining activity and natural water sources within the Wasatch National Forest. Multiple mines and prospects are scattered across the high ridges, particularly near Dutch Peak and the southern slopes of Lion Hill. This network of mineral extraction is supported by a series of primitive transport routes, including numerous named jeep trails that navigate complex terrain through Harker Canyon and Hard to Beat Canyon.

Water management and natural springs are central to the area's geography, noted by the presence of a gaging station on Vernon Creek and vital watering points like Little Valley Spring and Indian Springs. The map clearly delineates the administrative boundary between Tooele Co and Juab Co, which cuts through the southern portion of Horse Valley, providing a detailed view of the high-desert mountain transition before later development.
