It was a mining town that mined for silver and gold and other minerals. Joy is in Juan county and 40 miles west of Delta Utah near the Drum mountains near mount Laird southeast of the fish springs range. I’ve had this rare photograph for about 10 years and wasn’t 100% sure exactly what city or mining town it was until recently a man came into my antique store and told me exactly what town it was because he grew up there his whole life and raised cattle and drove cattle up threw those mountains. He recognized the town and mountains instantly! So now I’m 100% positive it’s the town of joy Utah. The town is no longer there now completely gone except for some mining shafts and mining equipment. There are couple grave markers there today. It’s basically a Utah Ghost town now. As far as I know I’m the only one that has an original 1880s photograph of this town of joy Utah?
