2010 Map of Eureka

About this map

The high-desert mining landscape of the Tintic District is defined by a dense network of shafts and tunnels surrounding the settlements of Eureka, Mammoth, and Knightville. By the early 21st century, the infrastructure of this storied silver-lead-zinc region remains a prominent feature of the terrain, from the Farragut Shaft in Fremont Canyon to the extensive workings at Dividend. The geography is characterized by steep ridges like Keystone Ridge and Latite Ridge, interspersed with numerous seasonal springs such as Hidden Treasure Spring and Big Gough Spring. Transport routes like Burriston Pass Rd and Dividend Rd weave through the mountains, connecting the historic mining centers with outlying claims like the Pinyon Queen and Water Lily. This survey documents the complex interface between the deep-vein mining operations and the rugged canyons of the East Tintic Mountains.
