2023 Map of Mercur

About this map

The Oquirrh Mountains form a dramatic backdrop for this modern record of the central Utah mining country. Named heights like Silveropolis Hill and Lion Hill suggest the area's rich silver mining history, while contemporary roads such as the Violet Ray Mine Loop and Treasure Rd point to the enduring presence of resource extraction in the hills. The map details the transition from the high peaks of Lewiston Peak and Flat Top Mtn down through narrow drainages like Sacramento Gulch and Mercur Canyon toward the valley floor. To the east, the established settlements of Fairfield and Cedar Fort sit at the edge of the range. The landscape is defined by its canyon systems, from Pole Canyon to Manning Canyon, showing a complex network of utility and mining access routes that cross the Tooele and Utah county line.
