About this map

The high desert landscape of Milford serves as a critical junction for the Union Pacific railroad and regional mining operations during the mid-20th century. This 1958 survey, updated through 1978, illustrates a transition from heavy extraction to stabilized infrastructure. The Rocky Range and Star Range are dotted with numerous claims, including the prominent Montreal Mine and the Harrington-Hickory Mine, while the former settlement at Blueacre appears as a recorded site.

Down on the valley floor, the Beaver River and The Big Wash define the hydrology of the Beaver Bottoms. Modern developments like the Milford Municipal Airport and a nearby Golf Course sit adjacent to established institutions such as the High Sch and local Fairground. An old railroad grade cutting through the western terrain provides a trace of earlier haulage routes that once served the remote Beaver-Harrison Mine.
