About this map

The East Tintic Mountains dominate this high-elevation region along the boundary of Juab and Utah counties. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by its mining history and remote drainage systems, centered on the small settlement of Dennis. Resource extraction is evident through the Sunrise and Copperopolis mine sites, as well as Ockleberry Corrals, reflecting the industrial past of the Tintic mining district.

The rugged terrain is dissected by numerous seasonal watercourses and springs that sustain the surrounding valleys. Water sources like Nelson Springs, Keystone Springs, and Riley Springs are critical landmarks in this arid environment. Significant topographical features such as Tintic Mtn and The Devils Steps overlook the broad expanse of Goshen Valley and Furner Valley. The network of primitive roads, including Tintic Chief 1 Rd and Tintic Pasture Rd, provides the primary access to these isolated canyons and high peaks.
