1980 Map of Wah Wah Mts. South

About this map

Mining operations and remote desert outposts define this western Utah landscape, where the Wah Wah Mountains and Needles Range rise from the arid floor of the Escalante Desert. Compiled from surveys spanning the mid-20th century, the map documents the concentration of mineral extraction in the Shauntie Hills and north of the Black Mountains, featuring sites like the Copper King Mine and Velvet Silver Mine. The industrial footprint is further evidenced by the Union Pacific Railroad corridor, which connects small settlements like Lund and Milford to the wider region.
