How to Use This Ophir, Utah Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ophir, Utah. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Utah or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Ophir.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Ophir claims a narrow, rugged crease in the earth where the landscape rises sharply into high, sun-bleached ridges. It lies 11.3 miles south of Tooele, UT (from Tooele, UT: bearing 169°T), and is situated 15.5 miles southwest of Herriman. Ophir Creek cuts a clear, persistent vein through the terrain, its cold waters carving a path directly through the depths of Hartmann Gulch. The air here holds a distinct, thin clarity, smelling faintly of dry sage and oxidized stone, while the light at dusk flattens the topography, turning the gray slopes into silhouettes against the vast, pale sky. Far to the east, the jagged spine of the Wasatch Range looms as a distant, serrated boundary, marking the limit of the horizon while the local elevation keeps the immediate surroundings quiet and enclosed.

Mining once defined the pulse of Ophir, leaving behind a scatter of weathered timber and rusted iron that speaks to a time of frantic extraction and sudden, localized prosperity. While the economic fervor of those early years has long since quieted, the remnants of that era persist as a skeletal architecture integrated into the steep, rocky inclines. Life moves at a measured, solitary pace, far removed from the busier corridors near Utah Lake or the managed wildness of Yellow Fork Canyon. The stillness that settles over the gulch is absolute, broken only by the rhythmic movement of the creek and the occasional wind that shifts the dust across the abandoned remains of a harder, more industrious age.
