1979 Map of Lynndyl
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Mining settlements and high desert terrain dominate this late 1970s landscape where the West Tintic Mountains and Tintic Mountains meet. The area’s industrial history is well-documented through concentrated operations such as the Erickson Mine, Pyramid Mine, and Sunbeam Mine, clustered near established towns like Eureka, Mammoth, and Silver City. The transportation network is anchored by the Union Pacific railroad, which tracks south through Tintic Valley toward Lynndyl and Leamington, bypassing the expansive Little Sahara National Recreation Area. To the west, the arid expanse of Crater Bench and Keg Mountain reveal a more isolated geography, punctuated by the Old River Bed and the Sevier River. This survey captures the transition from the bustling Tintic mining district to the open basins and dunes of central Utah.
