About this map

The East Tintic Mountains dominate this 1950s landscape, where intense industrial activity defines the terrain from Boulter Summit down through the Flat Wing Valley. The eastern half of the map is a dense network of mining operations, including the Swansea Mine, Victoria Northwest Mine, and Dagmar Mine, all tied together by the Union Pacific and various segments of old railroad grade.

Settlement patterns follow the mineral wealth, with the active communities of Mammoth and Silver City serving as hubs for the local workforce. Evidence of long-term occupation is visible in the presence of the Eureka Cem, Fitch Cem, and Silver City Cem. Infrastructure like the abandoned grain elevator at Knight and the Tintic Station near Tintic Junction reveal a shifting economy as transportation needs evolved across the Juab Co and Tooele Co border.
