1973 Map of Aragonite

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Aragonite and Clive stand as solitary markers of human activity in this high-desert stretch of Tooele County during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the sweeping Ripple Valley and the prominent ridges near Hickman. This orthophotomap emphasizes the stark transition between the flat valley floor and the textured, rising terrain of the surrounding mountains. Transportation and water are the primary drivers of settlement here, with the Western Pacific railroad providing a vital corridor through the basin. Sources of water like the Deseret Well were essential for sustaining life and industry in this arid environment, where the infrastructure of the rail line connects these isolated outposts to the broader region.
