1983 Map of Bovine

About this map

Bovine Mountains dominate the northern horizon of this high-desert landscape in Box Elder County, where the terrain drops sharply into the expansive Mud Flat that covers the southern half of the sheet. The small settlement of Bovine sits at the center of a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail, serving as a remote outpost in a region defined by its sparse water sources like Bull Springs and a lone Well. This 1983 survey captures a quiet era of land use, where technical infrastructure like a Radio Tower and Radio Facility stands alongside basic excavations such as a Gravel Pit and a natural Cave. The map illustrates the stark contrast between the steep, shaded slopes of the mountains and the perfectly level, featureless expanse of the flats below.
