About this map

Queen Of Sheba Mine and the Utah Mine mark a landscape of early 20th-century extraction tucked within the stark desert ranges of Juab and Millard Counties. The vast Great Salt Lake Desert dominates the north, giving way to a series of rugged uplands including the Fish Springs Range and the Thomas Range. This era of western expansion is documented through isolated outposts and family-named landmarks like Sixmile Ranch, Bishop's Ranch, and Boyd Station.

Water is the defining factor for settlement here, with life clustered around vital points such as Big Spring, Tule Spr, and the southern Sevier Lake. Cultural layers include an Indian Village in the northwest and established small communities like Callao and Gandy. The mapping detail captures the intricate drainages of Deep Creek and the notable geological formations of Wheeler Amphitheater and Notch Peak.
