1961 Map of Blue Point

About this map

The Emigrant Trail and Overland Trail converge in this high desert landscape of Sweetwater County, marking a historic junction of westward migration routes. The topography is defined by the winding course of Blacks Fork, where the Eckes Homestead stands as a rare sign of permanent settlement amidst the arid draws. The map captures an era of infrastructure transition, shown by the heavy presence of the Union Pacific railroad corridor and nearby Aqueducts (Aban'd) that once served the region's industrial or transport needs.
