What turns up: Early-1900s smelter-town refuse: bottling-works and druggist bottles, saloon and beer glass, smelter- and mine-supply debris, and canyon-creek and back-lot dumps behind the blocks on the 1910 and 1911 sheets, with older material possible on nearby ranch and mine sites.

Access: Gray area.

Settlement Canyon Creek bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state public-trust land with restrictions on removing historic material; town lots are private and need owner permission; the surrounding Oquirrh mining ground mixes patented claims with federal land subject to the Archaeological Resources Protection Act for sites over 100 years old.
