1954 Map of Tickville Spring

About this map

The Camp Williams State Military Res dominates this mid-century landscape where the Oquirrh Mountains meet the Traverse Mountains. The map reveals a transition from industrial activity at the Butterfield Tunnel and adjacent tailings piles in the northwest to the agricultural irrigation systems of the Cedar Fort Ditch and Cedar Valley Wash in the south. Between these points, the land is marked by high summits like Shaggy Peak and Step Mtn, and a network of drainages including Rose Canyon and Tickville Gulch. The prevalence of named water sources such as Tickville Spring, Oak Springs, and Rose Canyon Spring underscores the critical importance of water management in this arid stretch of the Salt Lake and Utah County border.
