About this map

Marysvale sits at the edge of high-altitude mining and timber territory, serving as a gateway to the steep eastern slopes of the Tushar Mountains. This region is defined by the severe drainage systems of Bullion Canyon and Revenue Gulch, where historical mining activity is evidenced by high-elevation access routes like the Copper Belt Road and Bullion Pasture - Miners Park trail. Within the Fishlake National Forest, the terrain rises sharply toward Mount Brigham and Alunite Ridge, highlighting the rugged character of the Piute County highlands.

Water features such as the Bullion Falls and various mountain creeks, including Beaver Cr and Pine Cr, carve through deep gulches like California Gulch and Warnick Gulch. To the north, the small settlement of Kimberly is situated among the Gray Hills, connected by historical tracks such as the Sargent Mtn - Bear Hollow trail. The map reveals an intricate network of forest roads and pack trails that supported both the extraction of minerals and the management of high-country grazing lands.
