1953 Map of Dugway Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Pony Express Route cuts across the high desert terrain of the Dugway Range in this 1953 survey, marking a corridor of historical significance in the Great Basin. This desert landscape is defined by the elevation of Pyramid Peak and the critical transition at Dugway Pass, where travelers once navigated between the rugged peaks of the Thomas Range and the open flats of Pismire Wash. The placement of the Dugway Pony Express Sta serves as a tangible reminder of the mid-19th-century mail service that briefly connected the coasts through this arid environment. Water management is evident through features like Bittner Knoll Res and East Topaz 2 Reservoir, highlighting the efforts to sustain activity in a region dominated by seasonal drainages like the North Fork and South Fork.
