Where Is Mammoth, Utah?

Mammoth sits in Mammoth Canyon on the west flank of the East Tintic Mountains in northeastern Juab County, about 3 miles south of Eureka at an elevation of 6,400 feet.

Mammoth History

Mammoth was founded around 1870 after the discovery of the Mammoth Mine, and it grew quickly as miners rushed into the Tintic Mining District, one of the most productive mining regions in the American West.

Life there was hard. There was no natural water nearby, so residents bought drinking water hauled in at ten cents a gallon while the mines piped in water for their own operations. Even so, the Mammoth Mine stayed in production for about 75 years and supported around 3,000 residents at its peak.

Today a handful of people still call Mammoth home, and the remnants of the old mining town are scattered across the hillside. The canyon country around it offers solitude and open land for hunters, off-road riders, and buyers looking for remote Utah acreage in the Tintic Valley.

Buying rural land near Mammoth? Water is the first question out here, followed by access and old mining claims. Olivia Pelton sold 120 acres in Duchesne County in 2025 and can help you check a parcel before you commit. Ask Olivia about a Mammoth-area property.

I purchased my first home about a year ago. Olivia was my agent, and she was AMAZING! We went from not even thinking we could buy, to living in our new home very quickly. The process was smooth and easy, and everything was explained! Thank you, Presidio, and thank you Olivia!!

Holly Smith

She also went above and beyond helping me with securing the best price in having the water heater & HVAC inspection done❗️ She offered on many occasions to help me complete any task in my home to prepare for the sell. We connected on so many levels, Olivia was a star in selling my condo 🤩 and I got exactly what I wanted from the sell Thank you Olivia 💝

Olivia was very helpful in all aspects of selling our house. Very knowledgeable on everything we needed to do. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to sell a house.

I have known Olivia Pelton since 2018, when my husband and I moved here from Dallas, Texas. From the very beginning, she was efficient, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us find the right home. Not only did Olivia help us find exactly what we were looking for, but she continued to check in with us from time to time to see if there was anything else she could help with. She consistently went above and beyond in ways I had never experienced with a realtor before. During our home tours, Olivia would ask thoughtful questions of the contractors and builders that we would never have thought to ask ourselves. Her expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. Over the years, our professional relationship has grown into a lasting friendship. I wholeheartedly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about her clients. She is simply the best!

Olivia sold me my second house. She really takes time for her clients. She follows up and goes to bat for the wants I have! I love doing business with Olivia because I know that she’s as invested in my happiness as I am. I highly recommend working with Olivia! I’ve referred some peers to her and they are also happy with her! Olivia is fantastic! A friend recommended her and I do not regret it. For starters, when I first contacted her, she was AT DISNEYWORLD on vacation. She answered all my questions while she was enjoying a day with her son. I was very impressed that she was willing to do that! From then on, she would promptly reply to any text I sent, day or night. I was very happy to almost instantly get a reply! She made the transition to closing very smooth and assured that any questions I had, as a new time home buyer, were valid. She even brought up points that I had forgotten when I sat down with the buyer. I was so glad I had her by my side to assist in the process. I bought a new construction home and she showed up to EVERY meeting. The reps of Woodside were surprised she came because apparently, realtors don't typically go to those. I am so thankful she did. She pointed out flaws that I did not catch. During the final walkthrough, she truly advocated for me and my concerns. She ensured my concerns were valid and that the builders heard them. She went out of her way a few times to listen to me when I was upset over things that went wrong. Olivia did try her best every time where she could. We even used Ranlife's lender and Olivia even chatted with the lender when things went awry. My dad assisted throughout the way as well. He does own property and was impressed by Olivia. His previous realtors did not advocate for him and did not attend all the showings as Olivia did. Olivia is now the family realtor! I will recommend her to anyone I hear is looking for a realtor because I am so grateful I had her by my side! I will definitely be coming to her again in the future. To top it off, I had mentioned I was buying a house to get a dog! When I closed, she gifted a house warming crate that had dog supplies! I'm so impressed she remembered the dog comment!!

Collin Genin

Olivia is amazing. Very respectful and proficient She helped us find a home and not just sell us a house. I'll definitely be coming back for any of my real-estate needs!

Trax Decker

Olivia is and will be the best Realtor you can get. My wife and I had been looking for a home for several years, serious to semi-serious looking. Once we had our first meet, not only did we find a home, but her professionalism, her attitude and direction, her awesome personality and sense of humor, made this experience far better. I loved loved loved how she provided us with what we asked for. Too many time did I tell other Realtors that we had a specific pay range, yet still got home listings 300k-600k more than we could ever afford. Not with Olivia. Call her, call her yesterday! She works hard, be honest with her and she will get you into the home you were meant to be in like she did for us! We still look at our home and feel so grateful to be in it, then we text her and tell her! I highly recommend Olivia, and thanks again for our wonderful home!

Olivia goes above and beyond to make your real estate transaction fun, professional and worry free. I’ve worked with many different realtors over the years and Olivia is hands down the most hard working and professional realtor I’ve ever dealt with. Olivia blew me away with her attention to detail, insight, advice and knowledge of the market. Most importantly, she is an amazing person with a wonderfully positive personality. I enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her services.
