Why this spot
1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Steep gulch camp draining to Silver Creek and the upper Weber, ringed by mine-scarred canyons
One of Utah's richest silver camps and the strongest bottle target on this list; the 1889 Sanborn maps the dense wood-frame saloon and boarding district that burned repeatedly, leaving heavy buried glass.
