The Union Pacific rail line cuts across the Tooele Valley in this survey of the northern Oquirrh Mountains. The settlement of Stockton serves as a hub between the industrial activity of the Tooele Army Depot to the north and the extensive mining operations to the south. The landscape is defined by deep drainages like Soldier Canyon and Settlement Canyon, which supported a complex network of extraction sites. High in the mountains, the map details established mining claims including the Hidden Treasure Mine and Queen of the Hills Mine near the vanished settlement of Gisborn. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Tailings Pond near Bauer illustrates the heavy processing footprint of the era, while high-altitude landmarks like Sharp Mountain and Edwards Pass provided critical navigation points for mineral exploration.
