1928 Map of Gold Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

Gold Hill stands as the primary hub of industrial activity in this high-desert mining district, surrounded by a concentration of claims including the Gold Hill Mine, Alvarado Mine, and Aube Mine. The landscape is dominated by the Deep Creek Mountains and Dutch Mountain, where the topography dictated the path of the historic Overland Trail as it moved through the region. Water sources were critical for both mining operations and ranching, evidenced by numerous named points like Goshute Spring, Wild Goose Spring, and Artesian Well. In the western valleys, the settlements of Ibapah and Clifton appear alongside family operations like Erickson Ranch and Sheridan Ranch, illustrating the transition from mineral extraction to agricultural life near the edge of the Great Salt Lake Desert. This 1920s survey records a moment when remote mining outposts and historical emigrant routes still defined the infrastructure of Tooele County.
