1991 Map of Tangent Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Hogup Mountains of Box Elder County dominate this 1991 topographic record, a landscape defined by desert peaks and dry washes. Rising above the Great Salt Lake Desert, the terrain is anchored by Tangent Peak and Scorpio Peak, with high-elevation routes like Big Pass and Shelter Mountain Pass providing the only navigable paths through the range. The map reveals the area's history of mineral exploration through several identified prospects scattered along the mountain flanks, while a lone Storage Bin and various 4wd tracks indicate the limited human infrastructure present in the late twentieth century. This survey, revised from earlier aerial photography, captures the stark geography of the Shelter Mountain vicinity before modern changes, documenting a remote corner of Utah where natural landmarks like Big Wash are the primary points of orientation.
