1953 Map of Dugway Range

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Pony Express Route cuts through this high desert terrain in the early 1950s, marking a historic corridor of communication that follows the base of the Dugway Range. This survey documents a landscape defined by isolated water sources and industrial extraction, featuring the Dugway Pony Express Sta near Pismire Wash. The northern sections are heavily influenced by the presence of the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range, while the mountainous interior is dotted with numerous small-scale mining operations including the Cannon Mine, Four Metal Mine, and the Lost Sheep Mine. Critical water points like Simpson Springs and the Dugway Topaz Well provided necessary relief in an otherwise arid expanse where Dugway Pass offered a primary route through the range's central peaks.
