1955 Map of Timpie

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Stansbury Mountains dominate this mid-century survey of Tooele County, with the rugged peaks rising sharply between the alkali flats of Skull Valley and the western edge of Grantsville. This 1955 landscape is defined by the high-elevation slopes of the Wasatch National Forest and a string of mining claims including the Monte Carlo Mine, Utah Bunker Hill Mine, and Monarch Mine. The corridor along the northern tip of the range is a vital transit artery, featuring the Western Pacific railroad and the remote outpost at Timpie. Local water sources were essential for survival in this arid terrain, as evidenced by the numerous named catchments like Horseshoe Springs, Big Spring, and Chokecherry Spring. The map also traces the era's ranching footprint at Delle Ranch and Deseret Ranch, providing a clear record of the region's mid-century pastoral and industrial geography.
