About this map

The high ridges of the Oquirrh Mountains dominate this 1993 revision, which traces a landscape defined by mining history and steep topography. Centered on the rugged spine separating Tooele and Salt Lake counties, the map highlights the proximity of resource extraction to high-altitude peaks like Lowe Peak and Kelsey Peak. The settlement of Ophir sits at the southern edge, serving as a gateway to the complex network of canyons and gulches that characterize the range.

Industrial footprints are evident throughout, from the Queen Mine Prospects and various Mines near West Mtn to a noted Mine Ruins Dump. The presence of numerous pack trails and 4wd roads suggests a remote terrain heavily utilized for both prospecting and recreation. High mountain flats such as White Pine Flat and Farmers Flat provide brief breaks in the vertical relief, while the Radio Facility on Butterfield Peaks represents the modern technological layer atop these ancient geological formations.
