1955 Map of Park City West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Park City sits at the base of a high-altitude mining and ranching landscape, where the extraction economy of the Wasatch Range meets the pastoral valleys of Summit County. The map documents a dense network of industrial subterranean infrastructure, including the Spiro Tunnel, Alliance Tunnel, and the sprawling workings of the Silver King Mine near Treasure Hill. These mining operations contrast with the early development of recreational and agricultural sites like the Ski Jump at Ecker Hill and the Hi Ute Ranch. To the north, the transition from mining town to regional hub is visible at Kimball Junction and Snyderville, where the Snyderville Cem marks the early settlement of the Snyderville Basin. The terrain is defined by steep drainages such as Thaynes Canyon and Iron Canyon, which historically provided both the timber for mine shoring and the water sources that fed the growing community.
