1991 Map of Miners Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Newfoundland Mountains rise sharply above the stark expanses of the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin, defining a landscape of extreme contrast in western Box Elder County. This 1991 survey illustrates the remote industrial and geological character of the region, where extensive areas of Mud surround the high ground. The eastern slopes are marked by extraction history, centered on the Miners Basin district. Dozens of Mines dot the rugged topography alongside specialized survey markers like USLM No 1. Infrastructure in this arid environment is sparse but critical, represented by a Water Tank and a single Spring tucked into the mountain folds. The map documents the physical isolation of these peaks, which served as a desert island for prospecting and mineral exploration within the salt flats.
