About this map

Tintic Valley and the western slopes of the East Tintic Mountains define this landscape in rural Juab County. The map details a quiet corridor of the Great Basin where the rail-aligned settlements of McIntyre and Jericho sit at the desert's edge. This area is characterized by its intermittent water sources and high-altitude drainage patterns, with Death Creek, Tanner Creek, and Copperopolis Creek cutting through the valley floor.

Strategic water points like Railroad Springs and Mud Springs suggest the historical reliance on these scarce resources for both transit and ranching. The terrain rises from the flats of the valley toward prominent landforms such as Jericho Ridge and the winding Wash Canyon. Local routes like McIntyre Rd and Dennis Rd provide access through the sagebrush and scrub, tracing the paths established by early settlers and mineral seekers in this arid environment.
