1969 Map of Crocodile Mtn NE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Kelton (Site) stands as a reminder of the transcontinental railroad's path across the harsh landscape of Box Elder County. This 1969 orthophotomap captures the remnants of the Old Central Pacific Grade as it cuts across the expansive Mud Flat north of Crocodile Mountain. The presence of a Cem and landmarks like Wheeler and Flowing Well highlight the sparse but essential infrastructure that once supported life along this historical rail corridor. The orthophoto format provides a unique visual of the terrain's texture, showing how human engineering like the railroad grade interacts with the natural alkaline flats and salt crusts of northern Utah. Researchers can use this document to trace the exact alignment of the pioneer rail route through this desolate region.
