About this map

Park City stands as the central hub of this survey, where the transition from a historic mining legacy to a premier recreation destination is visible through the landscape's nomenclature. In the southern reaches, the map meticulously records the industrial heritage of the Wasatch Range with labels for the Queen Esther Shaft, McCune Tunnel, and Silver King Extension. These features sit in direct proximity to the modern infrastructure of Deer Valley Resort, including the Snow Park Ski Lifts, showing how old claims and modern tourism share the same geography.

To the east, the Jordanelle Reservoir dominates the drainage of Silver Creek and Ross Creek, its waters reaching toward Keetley Junction. The map captures a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, from the flats of Richardson Flat and Round Valley to the heights of Ontario Ridge and Masonic Hill. This record provides essential data for those tracing the evolution of Summit County’s silver-mining infrastructure alongside its expansion into the resort era.
