About this map

Silver City and Mammoth anchor the eastern slopes of the Tintic Mountains in this 2010 survey of Utah's historic mining country. The landscape is heavily marked by a dense concentration of mineral extraction sites, reflecting the region's industrial heritage through features like the Yankee Girl Mine, Swansea Mine, and General Logan Mine. These operations follow the distinct geological folds of Eureka Ridge and Quartzite Ridge, where the terrain gives way to the open spaces of Wing Flat and the Tintic Valley to the south and west.

Family legacies and small-scale settlement patterns are preserved through names like Hannifin Ranch and Snell Ranch, while the area's social history is recorded at the Silver City Cemetery, Fitch Cemetery, and Eureka Cemetery. The network of roads, including Cherry Creek Rd and Silver Pass Rd, connects these remote outposts with the central hub at Tintic Junction, providing a clear view of the transportation corridors that once moved ore and supplies through canyons like Iron Canyon and Robinson Canyon.
