1955 Map of Park City West

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Park City sits at the edge of this mid-century topographic survey, where the industrial mining legacy of the Wasatch Range meets the evolving landscape of Summit County. The map documents an intensive period of subsurface exploration and extraction, evidenced by the cluster of subterranean infrastructure around Treasure Hill. Features such as the Creole Tunnel, Alliance Tunnel, and Judge Tunnel speak to the complex engineering required to navigate these silver-rich mountains. To the north, the transition from industrial mining to ranching and early transportation hubs is visible through Snyderville and the emerging crossroads at Kimball Junction. The landscape is etched with historical landmarks like the Ski Jump near Ecker Hill and several burial grounds, including the Glenwood Cemetery and Quarry Cem. The rugged terrain of the Wasatch National Forest is defined by steep canyons such as Lambs Canyon and Big Cottonwood Canyon, showing the area's dual identity as a center for both hard-rock mining and high-altitude recreation.
