1955 Map of Mount Aire

About this map

Maxfield Mine and Baker Mine sit high in the dramatic canyons of the Wasatch National Forest, documenting the reach of historical mining operations in these steep drainages. The landscape is defined by its recreation and forestry infrastructure, including the Tracy Wigwam (Boy Scout Camp) and several specialized stations like the Box Elder Guard Sta. A complex network of canyons, from Parleys Canyon in the north to Big Cottonwood Creek in the south, serves as the primary corridor for movement through the high peaks. The presence of a Powerhouse and numerous picnic grounds like Storm Mtn Picnic Ground indicates the area's dual role as a utility resource and a public retreat for those traveling from nearby Salt Lake City. Noteworthy peaks such as Gobblers Knob and Mount Raymond anchor the central topography, surrounded by distinctive natural features like Doughnut Falls.
