1955 Map of Mount Aire

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Maxfield Mine and the surrounding drainages of Big Cottonwood Creek define this mid-century landscape within the Wasatch National Forest. The map documents a transition in land use, where former industrial activity and mining interests like those at Maxfield Basin exist alongside a growing network of public recreation sites. Established campgrounds and picnic areas, including The Spruces Campground and Moss Ledge Picnic Ground, are clustered along the canyon roads. Notable scouting history is preserved at Tracy Wigwam, a Boy Scout camp located near the western edge of the survey. The terrain is marked by high-altitude landmarks such as Gobblers Knob and Mill A Basin Peak, while the hydrological network includes distinctive natural features like Doughnut Falls and Hidden Falls. This 1950s record provides a clear view of the canyon's development before modern expansion altered the footprint of its many forks and hollows.
