Buried in the hills of Carbon County is a town called Scofield, which appears to be nothing but a few cabins near a lake. Yet in the early 1920s, this was one of the bustling mining towns in the American West. According to the Utah State Parks description of Scofield State Park, the Scofield mining district supported more than 6,000 residents at its peak in the early 1920s, along with 12 stores, 13 saloons, four large hotels, and a post office.
