About this map

Tintic Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape in Juab County, surrounded by a complex system of canyons and ridges that define the region's geography. The northern reaches of the quadrangle reveal a dense cluster of historic mining operations, including the Buckeye Mine, Rising Sun Mine, and Evelyn Mine, situated near Sunrise Peak. These sites, along with the Old Susan Mine and Tintic Chief Mine, point to the area's significant mineral extraction legacy.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated at the small community of Dennis and the Hancock Ranch on the edge of the Goshen Valley. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage patterns such as Kimball Creek and the Furner Creek system, which flows through Furner Valley and Furner Canyon. Notable landmarks like Volcano Ridge, The Devils Steps, and Rattlesnake Peak underscore the dramatic topography, while numerous water sources like Jumpoff Spring and Keystone Springs provide vital points of interest in this arid environment.
