1993 Map of Mercur
USGS Topo · Published 1993About this map
The Oquirrh Mountains of Utah reveal a landscape dominated by industrial mineral extraction and the remains of boom-era mining camps. This map centers on the Mercur (Site), highlighting a massive Open Pit Mine and extensive Tailings Pond systems that define the modern geography of Mercur Canyon. The proximity of former settlements like Manning (Site) and Sunshine (Site) illustrates the high density of historical activity along the canyon floors and slopes. The map also traces the infrastructure required for these operations, including a Railroad Grade and numerous specialized sites like the Violet Ray Mine and Chloride Point Mine. Rising above these excavations are natural landmarks such as Lewiston Peak and Eagle Hill, providing a stark contrast between the undisturbed peaks and the heavily modified valleys below.
