About this map

Tintic Valley provides the central axis for this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by ranching, rail history, and the arid hydrology of the Great Basin. The Union Pacific line cuts through the valley, passing the small settlement of McIntyre and the nearby Tintic Ranch. Traces of earlier transportation networks are visible in the Old Railroad Grade and the McIntyre Road, which connected these remote outposts.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this terrain, as evidenced by the mapping of Railroad Springs, Death Creek, and the isolated No Name Well. The topography transitions from the flat valley floor to the prominent Jericho Ridge in the southwest and the winding Chambers Wash. For those researching regional development, the map documents a period when rural industrial features like Copperopolis and various Prospects and Gravel Pits marked the presence of mineral extraction and infrastructure maintenance in Juab County.
