1885 Map of Sevier Desert

About this map

Mining operations in the Tintic Mountains define the northeastern corner of this 1885 survey, where the boom settlements of Silver City, Diamond City, and Homansville cluster near Cataract Creek. The landscape transitions from these mineral-rich heights into the broad expanse of the Sevier Desert, bisected by the Central Pacific Railroad as it follows the Sevier River through Sevier Canyon.
