1973 Map of Barro

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Barro serves as the primary focal point of this 1972 orthophotomosaic, situated along a lonely stretch of the Western Pacific railroad. This small outpost is defined by its isolation within a sprawling Mud Flat, where the landscape is marked by the distinct patterns of salt crust and sediment. The northern edge of the Wendover Air Force Range occupies the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the intersection of military airspace with the Great Salt Lake Desert's floor. Infrastructure in this corridor is limited to a few vital links, including Interstate 80 and several Radio Towers, which provide essential communication and transit across the barren expanse. This survey captures a specific moment in the mid-1970s before modern navigational and telecommunication shifts altered the utility of these remote desert waystations.
