1993 Map of Ophir
USGS Topo · Published 1993About this map
Ophir stands as a testament to the mining legacy of the Oquirrh Mountains, where the landscape is etched with the footprints of extraction. This survey illustrates a complex industrial topography, from the Mines and Tailings surrounding the settlement to the numerous Prospects and Quarry sites scattered across Lion Hill and Dry Mountain. The transition from the high-altitude mining district into the broad expanse of Rush Valley is punctuated by the massive footprint of the Tooele Army Depot (South Area), which occupies a significant portion of the southwestern quadrant. Between the rugged canyons like Silverado Canyon and the valley floor, the map traces the intersection of federal military utility and historical mineral wealth, visible in features like the Rifle Range and the old Cemetery near the townsite.
