About this map

Mining operations and early ski infrastructure define this mid-century landscape where Park City meets the Union Pacific rail lines. The industrial character of the era is evident through numerous shafts and mines, including the Queen Esther Shaft, Constellation Shaft, and the Park City Consolidated works. These extractive sites are concentrated near Masonic Hill and Deer Valley, where the presence of the Snow Pack Ski Lifts signals the beginning of the area's transition into a recreation destination.

The Union Pacific railroad services the southern corridor, passing through Keetley and Keetley Station. To the north, the terrain opens into Parleys Park and Round Valley, while Richardson Flat contains a prominent Tailings Pond, reflecting the heavy processing activity of the day. Small ranching footprints like Clark Ranch and junctions such as Silver Creek Junction provide local orientation points between the high ridges of Hogs Back and the deep cuts of Threemile Canyon.
