2011 Map of Mount Aire

About this map

Maxfield Mine and Baker Mine sit as reminders of the extraction history within these canyons of the Wasatch Range. The drainage systems of Mill Creek and Big Cottonwood Creek define the landscape, creating a network of steep forks and gulches that host numerous recreation sites, including The Spruces Campground and the George Washington Memorial Grove. Transportation through the high passes is represented by Lower Parleys Cyn and Lambs Canyon Rd, while smaller routes like Porter Fork Rd provide access to the interior basins. Water features are prominent throughout the terrain, from the Mountain Dell Dam in the north to the distinctive Doughnut Falls and Hidden Falls along the southern creek beds. Notable peaks such as Mount Raymond and Kesler Peak anchor the topography, overseeing a region transitioning from its mining roots to a hub for outdoor activity.
