1968 Map of Lowe Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lowe Peak and the high ridges of the Oquirrh Mountains dominate this late-1960s survey at the meeting point of Tooele, Salt Lake, and Utah Counties. The map documents an era of varied land use, where the Butterfield Reservation and the winding Old Military Road intersect with the region's deep mining history. The landscape is carved by deep drainages like Soldier Canyon and Middle Canyon, while numerous mineral extraction sites such as the Old Mayflower Mine, Queen Mine, and various Prospects dot the slopes of West Mtn and Butterfield Peaks. These features illustrate the industrial and strategic importance of the range during the mid-20th century. High-altitude flats like Farmers Flat and Mill Flat provide a glimpse into the terrain’s character before more modern developments, preserving the nomenclature of earlier settlers and miners who worked these canyons.
