1953 Map of Dugway Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Pony Express Route cuts across this high desert landscape, marking the historic path of early transcontinental mail through Juab County. This 1953 survey captures the area at a time when the Dugway Pony Express Sta and nearby Simpson Springs served as critical landmarks for travelers navigating the arid terrain between the Dugway Range and the Thomas Range. The map reveals the vital importance of water in this environment, documenting features like the East Topaz 2 Reservoir and Bittner Knoll Res. Steep elevation changes are evident at Dugway Pass, where a series of unimproved dirt roads and a Jeep Trail provide the only access through the mountain gaps. The drainage patterns of Pismire Wash and the North Fork illustrate the seasonal hydrology of this remote Utah territory.
