The Oquirrh Mountains form the western backdrop for this 1952 study, which captures the industrial and residential landscape of southwest Salt Lake County before modern suburban expansion. The mining influence is unmistakable, with the massive Tailings Area south of Copperton and the deep gouges of Bingham Canyon and Copper Gulch illustrating the scale of excavation. The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad winds through the hills, serving the extraction economy that defined the town of Lark.
