1955 Map of Mount Aire

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Maxfield Mine and Baker Mine anchor the industrial history of this mountain landscape east of Salt Lake, where extraction once shared the canyons with early conservation and recreation. The geography is defined by steep ridges like Reed and Benson Ridge and high summits including Gobblers Knob and Mount Raymond. This mid-century view shows a transition toward heavy public use within the Wasatch National Forest, evidenced by numerous sites like The Spruces Campground and Moss Ledge Picnic Ground. The presence of the Tracy Wigwam camp in Mill Creek canyon highlights the area's role in youth development and outdoor education. Water management is critical throughout, with a Gaging Sta and Powerhouse located near natural landmarks such as Doughnut Falls and Hidden Falls, reflecting the vital importance of the Big Cottonwood Creek watershed to the valley below.
