About this map

The high-elevation mining district of the Tushar Mountains is recorded here during the late twentieth century, showing a landscape defined by extractive industry and steep terrain. Fishlake National Forest dominates the topography, where numerous mining operations such as the Silver King Mine, Rainbow Mine, and Deer Trail Mine are situated among the peaks. The map reveals the intricate network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails required to access remote claims like those near Alunite Ridge and Horse Heaven.

Water systems are vital to the area's geography, with the dramatic Bullion Falls on Bullion Creek serving as a significant landmark. The eastern edge of the quadrangle touches the Marysvale Corporate Boundary, where the D & R G W railroad line follows the Sevier River corridor. This survey provides a look at the relationship between the natural summits, including Mount Brigham and Copper Belt Peak, and the infrastructure of a working mountain wilderness.
