1968 Map of Bulls Pass

About this map

North Promontory Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape, creating a dramatic vertical divide between the surrounding basin lands. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is defined by the critical passage at Bulls Pass, a natural corridor through the ridgeline. The western portion of the map covers the expansive Hansel Valley, where the land use shifts toward agricultural and industrial infrastructure. Sparse but vital markers of human activity include a Storage Bin and a Well, alongside extractive sites like a Sandpit and Gravel Pit. A network of unpaved transit is represented by a Jeep Trail, illustrating how ranchers and miners navigated this isolated stretch of Box Elder County before modern developments altered the local backcountry routes.
