About this map

Eureka and the surrounding Tintic Mining District anchor this study of the eastern Juab County landscape. The area is defined by its significant mining history, evidenced by the cluster of settlements including Mammoth, Silver City, and the rail-oriented Tintic Junction. These towns are situated among the peaks of the East Tintic Mountains, where topographic features like Teutonic Ridge and Quartzite Ridge flank narrow canyons such as Jenny Lind Canyon and Dragon Canyon.

Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds: the Eureka Cem, Fitch Cem, and the Silver City Cem near Ruby Hollow. The transportation network reveals the area's industrial past, with Mammoth Junction and Knight serving as key nodes along the routes. The terrain transitions from the heights of Packard Peak and Old Baldy down into the Tintic Valley, where the drainage of Tanner Cr and Eureka Cr meet the more level grounds of Wing Flat.
