1954 Map of Tintic Mountain

About this map

Sunrise Peak and the high ridges of the Tintic Mountains dominate this mid-century survey along the border of Juab and Utah Counties. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's mining heritage, with a concentration of industrial activity in the northwest corner, including the Buckeye Mine, Rising Sun Mine, and the Evelyn Mine. Further south, the high-altitude Copperopolis site underscores the geological richness that drew prospectors to these slopes. Settlement is sparse, with small outposts like Garbett and the Hancock Ranch located on the eastern fringes where the mountains meet Goshen Valley. The terrain is characterized by deep drainage systems such as Furner Canyon and Birch Creek, which are fed by numerous named water sources like Jumpoff Spring and the curiously named Paul Buoyans Woodpile Springs, essential for the livestock and mining operations of the era.
