1949 Map of Spanish Fork Peak

About this map

The Wasatch Range landscape meets the industrial activity of the mid-20th century in this topographical study, where the peaks of Loafer Mountain and Spanish Fork Pk overlook a corridor of significant rail and mining infrastructure. The intersection of the Utah Ry and the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad defines the transportation hub at Moark Junction, while nearby sites like the Powder Plant and the Siphon indicate the area's utility and manufacturing role. Notable for local history is the Dream Mine located on the slopes of North Bench, along with the Old Spanish Mine and a Quarry near Castilla. The map also captures the complex irrigation system of the valley, featuring the Salem Canal and High Line Canal, alongside the recreational and thermal features of Castilla Springs and Shurtz Lake.
