1983 Map of Bovine SE

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad line cuts a straight, horizontal path across this arid landscape in Box Elder County, Utah. This 1983 orthophotomap combines aerial photography with topographic data to show a region dominated by an expansive Mud Flat, where the shifting textures of the desert floor are visible in detail. Water management is a central theme of this remote sector, evidenced by the presence of a prominent Aqueduct running north-south along the eastern edge and several Flowing Wells located near the southern boundary. These features suggest a localized reliance on groundwater and engineering to navigate the high desert environment. The terrain is largely undeveloped, with a few Private access roads providing the only terrestrial connections through the wash-marked salt flats and basins.
