About this map

Gold Mountain dominates the northeast reaches of this Piute County terrain, where a legacy of high-altitude extraction is visible through the clustered workings of the Sevier Mine and the Lower Kimberly Mine. These sites, along with the Upper Kimberly Mine and Grasshopper Mine, are situated near the settlements of Upper Kimberly and Lower Kimberly, indicating a concentrated mining district connected by the winding Kimberly Rd.

Southward, the landscape shifts toward massive peaks and high basins, including the namesake Mount Belknap and Mount Baldy. Water management for the surrounding valleys is evidenced by high-elevation infrastructure such as the Indian Creek Dam, creating the Indian Creek Reservoir, and the Blue Lake Dam. The map also captures the headwaters of numerous drainages, from Mill Creek in the north to the South Fork North Creek in the south, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this section of the Tushar Mountains.
