About this map

Tintic Mountains dominate this 1992 landscape along the border of Juab and Utah counties. The area is marked by a legacy of resource extraction, particularly in the northern reaches where several named mines and prospects cluster. Landmarks like the Rising Sun Mine, Buckeye Mine, and the Old Susan Mine are situated near Sunrise Peak and Buckhorn Mtn, reflecting the intensive silver and base metal mining that historically defined the Tintic district.

A notable archaeological and cultural point is Dennis (Site), located near the head of Broad Hollow. The rugged topography is further distinguished by geologic curiosities such as Paul Bunyans Woodpile, a unique basalt formation in the southwest, and The Devils Steps to the east. Water sources, essential for both mining and livestock, are documented through numerous sites like Keystone Springs, Kessler Spring, and the Water Tank in Sunrise Canyon. The map provides a clear picture of the transition from the high peaks of Tintic Mountain down into the grazing lands of Goshen Valley and Furner Valley.
