2010 Map of Gold Hill

About this map

Gold Hill and its surrounding desert mining landscape appear here in the early 21st century, centered on the historic mining district in the shadow of Dutch Mountain. The map reveals a dense network of extraction sites including the Alvarado Mine, United States Mine, and the Garrison Mines located to the north near Wilson Hill. This region is defined by its arid drainage patterns, with Gold Hill Wash and Rodenhouse Wash cutting across the basin, punctuated by critical water sources like Cane Spring and Ochre Springs. Transport into this remote corner of Tooele County relies on a few primary routes, notably Gold Hill Rd and Callao Rd, which connect the scattered operations. The distribution of sites like Silver Hill Mine and Stardust Mine suggests a long history of mineral exploration throughout the diverse terrain of Accident Canyon and Spotted Fawn Canyon.
