Piute County, Administrative county in south-central Utah, United States.
Piute County spans 766 square miles, containing the Tushar Mountains and Sevier River, with Delano Peak reaching 12,174 feet above sea level.
The county, established in January 1865 from territories of Beaver County, experienced a gold mining peak between 1868 and 1959 in towns like Bullion.
The region carries the name of the Paiute Native American tribe and maintains their historical legacy through local landmarks and educational programs.
Junction serves as the county seat, providing administrative services and acting as a central point for accessing the 900-mile Piute ATV trail system.
The Tushar Mountains mine produced essential potash and alumina during World War I, leading to the temporary establishment of Alunite town.
