About this map

The high elevations of the Tintic Mountains dominate this survey, which straddles the boundary between Juab and Utah counties. The northern reaches are heavily marked by the region's mining heritage, featuring a concentration of extraction sites like the Buckeye Mine, Evelyn Mine, and Old Susan Mine near Sunrise Peak. These industrial markers are linked by early transit routes such as the Copperopolis Road, showing the logistical network required to move ore from the peaks down toward Goshen Valley.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain takes on a more distinct geological character with landmarks like Paul Bunyans Woodpile and The Devils Steps. Scattered ranching and water management are evident at the Hancock Ranch and various pipeline segments, including the Riley Pipe Line. From the small settlement at Dennis to the remote Picnic Area near Hop Creek, the map details a landscape where industrial mineral extraction and sparse high-desert agriculture coexist.
