1972 Map of Mills Junction

About this map

Industrial salt production and the evolving shoreline of the Great Salt Lake define this corner of the Tooele Valley in the early 1970s. Extensive salt evaporators and areas marked as Western Salt Alkali or Mud dominate the northern landscape, illustrating the region's extraction-based economy. Local transportation is centered on the Union Pacific rail lines and the newly developed Lake Point Interchange, which connects the small settlements of Lake Point and Mills Junction to the broader corridor.
