1949 Map of Bancroft
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Oregon Short Line railroad serves as the industrial backbone of this High Desert landscape, connecting the village of Bancroft with outlying agricultural stops at Talmage and Pebble. The transition from the rugged Portneuf Range peaks, such as Petticoat Pk and Sedgwick Pk, down into the productive Gentile Valley reveals an era of significant hydro-electric development. Downstream along the Bear River, infrastructure for the Grace Power Plant and Cove Power Plant is visible, complete with Surge Tanks, Penstocks, and the Telluride School serving the local community.
