1950 Map of Silver Peak

About this map

Silver Peak dominates the high ground of the Antelope Range in this mid-century survey of southwestern Utah. The landscape is defined by its industrial potential and rugged drainages, with mining history suggested by names like Bullion Canyon and Chloride Canyon. To the south, the topography transitions toward the Red Hills and the northern edge of Iron Mountain, a region shaped by significant mineral deposits. Water sources are scarce but critical, evidenced by the scattered locations of Joel Spring, Sand Spring, and Hidden Spring. The drainage patterns of The Dry Wash and Pinto Creek illustrate the arid environment of Iron County as it was documented in 1950 and later updated through photorevision in the late 1970s.
