1992 Map of Tintic Junction

About this map

Mining operations and early industrial infrastructure dominate the eastern slopes of the Tintic Mountains in this 1992 revision. The landscape is a detailed record of the Tintic Mining District's footprint, showcasing a dense network of extraction sites like the Victoria Gold Mine, Yankee Girl Mine, and Evans Mine. While much of the active extraction had subsided by the late 20th century, the physical remnants define the area, including the Old Railroad Grade and an abandoned grain elevator at Knight. Settlements like Mammoth and Silver City remain anchored to the gulches and flats that once supported a thriving ore economy. The presence of three distinct burial grounds—Eureka Cem, Fitch Cem, and Silver City Cem—offers significant value for genealogists tracing the families that populated these mining camps. From the high points of Hannifin Peak to the broad expanse of Tintic Valley, the map captures a transition from industrial intensity to a quieter rural character.
