1952 Map of Lark

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The industrial and agricultural landscape of Salt Lake County is defined by the heavy presence of mining and transit systems. The town of Copperton sits at the mouth of Bingham Canyon, serving as a residential hub for the operations that shaped the eastern foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains. Further south, the settlement of Lark is situated among a network of subterranean works, including the Bingham Tunnel and Mascotte Tunnel. The map records a transition from the intensive resource extraction evidenced by a massive Tailings Area and several gravel pits to the established farmlands around Herriman. This agrarian zone is supported by the Butterfield Creek drainage and an extensive network of ditches and levees. Transportation is anchored by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, which snakes through the terrain to connect these mountain work sites with the broader valley. Local heritage is preserved at sites like the Fort Herriman Historical Marker and the Bingham City Cemetery.
