About this map

Mining operations and narrow canyons dominate the landscape of the East Tintic Mountains during the mid-1950s. The dense industrial activity around Silver City and Mammoth is visible through numerous workings such as the Swansea Mine, West Swansea Mine, and Pickle Mine. This period of transition is evidenced by the abandoned grain elevator at Knight and the presence of under pipe line construction cutting through the valley near Mammoth Junction.

Logistics and transport are centered on the Union Pacific rail lines serving the Tintic Junction Station. The map also captures the cultural landscape of the region, identifying remote family and community landmarks like the Snell Ranch, Hannifin Ranch, and three distinct burial grounds including Fitch Cem and Hannifin Cem. Rugged peaks like Packard Peak and Old Baldy overlook a network of industrial sites and canyons that defined the Juab County mining economy.
