About this map

The Lake Mountains dominate this 1993 revision, rising sharply between the Cedar Valley to the west and the expansive shoreline of Utah Lake to the east. The terrain is marked by numerous canyons and ridges, including Hells Kitchen, Miners Ridge, and Enoch Ridge, indicating a history of prospecting shown by multiple Prospect and Mine symbols scattered across the slopes. This edition reflects field checks from 1990, documenting the landscape before modern suburban expansion reached these eastern slopes.

Near the southern edge of the map, the Mosida (Site) sits within the Goshen Valley, a location tied to early twentieth-century irrigation and agricultural attempts. The presence of the Salt Lake and Utah line and isolated water sources like Pfeiffer Well and the Well near the lakeshore highlight the importance of water management and transport in this arid mountain-to-lake corridor. Geologic landmarks such as Soldiers Pass and The Knolls provide critical orientation points for local history researchers and geologists studying the region.
