1980 Map of Stockton

About this map

Stockton and the industrial hamlet of Bauer anchor this 1980 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by mining operations and military infrastructure in the Oquirrh Mountains' western shadow. The Union Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary artery for the valley, connecting extensive Gravel Pits and the sprawling footprint of the Tooele Army Depot in the northwest. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into a network of canyons and gulches marked by a dense history of extraction. Dozens of extraction sites, including the Hidden Treasure Mine, Queen of the Hills Mine, and the Calumet Mine, are found throughout the high country near Bald Mountain. The presence of Gisborn and multiple family-named features like Ben Harrison Gulch and Bevans Gulch offer significant leads for genealogists and local historians tracing the region's late 20th-century mining and transportation patterns.
