About this map

The East Tintic Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the late 2010s, centered on the prominent summit of Tintic Mountain. The settlement of Dennis is the primary human waypoint, situated along Dennis Rd and Dennison Rd near the drainage of Copperopolis Cr. The terrain is defined by complex geological formations, including Volcano Ridge and the sharp profile of Rattlesnake Peak.

Hydrology in this arid region is marked by numerous vital water sources such as Bens Spring, Maple Spring, and Riley Springs. These points, along with named canyons like Sunrise Canyon and Government Canyon, reveal the historic importance of water management and access in the Tintic mining district. To the south, features like The Devils Steps and Whitmore Canyon show the transition toward Little Dog Valley, while the Juab Co Utah Co line tracks across the peaks, dividing the high ridges.
