Ophir sits at the head of a rugged drainage in the Oquirrh Mountains, where mining history is etched into the landscape through features like the Dry Canyon Mining Rd. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of this mineral-rich corridor, connecting high-elevation sites like Lynch Ridge and Hartmann Gulch to the broader expanse of Rush Valley below. Genealogy and local history are particularly well-represented by the inclusion of three distinct burial grounds: the Ophir Old Cem, the Ophir New Cem, and the more remote Mercur Cem located near Mercur Canyon.
