About this map

The industrial and agricultural landscape of the Oquirrh Mountains comes into sharp focus through the infrastructure of mining and mountain transit. Mining activity dominates the central terrain, notably at Bingham Canyon where the Tailings Area and multiple underground corridors like Bingham Tunnel and Mascotte Tunnel are marked. The planned community of Copperton stands near the Bingham High Sch, while the settlement of Lark sits tucked into the foothills.

Transit for the region's heavy industry is provided by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, which snakes through the canyons. Further south, the map reveals the transition to the more rural community of Herriman, featuring the Herriman Cem and the Fort Herriman Historical Marker. The southern edge is defined by the Camp Williams State Military Reservation, illustrating the diverse land use of Salt Lake County during the early 1950s.
