1955 Map of Park City West

About this map

Park City sits at the eastern edge of this mid-1950s survey, surrounded by the intense mining operations of the Wasatch Range. The landscape is a study in the transition from agricultural valley floors to industrial mountain peaks, with numerous shafts and tunnels such as the Silver King Mine, Creole Tunnel, and Western Monitor Shaft dotting the slopes. In the lower elevations, small settlements like Snyderville and Kimball appear alongside ranching operations including the Hi Ute Ranch and Snow Summit Ranch. The map also preserves the site of the Old Stage Sta, marking the historical transit routes that predated the heavy mining era. To the west, the protected lands of the Wasatch National Forest rise toward Murdock Peak, where terrain remains dominated by deep drainages like Lambs Canyon and Toll Canyon.
