About this map

Queen of Sheba Mine and the Utah Mine highlight the industrial activity in this remote desert landscape during the early twentieth century. This 1908 survey covers the intersection of Tooele, Juab, and Millard Counties, a region characterized by isolated mountain ranges separated by expansive valleys. Remote ranching outposts such as Sixmile Ranch, Conger Ranch, and Simonson's Ranch provided vital footholds for settlers, while Boyd Station and Callao served as essential stopping points along established trails.

Water sources define the geography here, with Fish Springs and Big Spring offering life-sustaining points in the shadow of the Fish Springs Range. To the south, the Confusion Range and Antelope Mountain tower over the Whirlwind Valley, illustrating the topographic complexity that travelers navigated while moving toward the Sevier Lake basin. The presence of Indian Village near Deep Creek suggests a long history of human habitation tied to these reliable desert springs.
