1925 Map of Gold Hill

About this map

Gold Hill emerges as a focal point of activity in the high desert of Tooele County, serving as a gateway between the Dutch Mountain range and the edge of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The mining economy of the mid-1920s is clearly etched into the terrain, with operations like the Gold Hill Mine, Alvarado Mine, and the Silver Hill Mine scattered across the mineral-rich slopes. Further south, the settlement of Clifton sits on the Clifton Flat, marking a transition toward the formidable Deep Creek Mountains.
