1953 Map of Dugway Range

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Pony Express Route cuts across this high desert landscape, passing through Simpson Springs and the Dugway Pony Express Sta as it skirts the southern edge of the Dugway Valley. This mid-century survey captures a region defined by isolation and mineral exploration, notably at Spor Mountain where a cluster of claims including the Lost Sheep Mine, Blowout Mine, and Thursday Mine are recorded. The steep topography of the Dugway Range dominates the center of the sheet, providing a natural barrier between Fish Springs Flat to the west and the expansive Dugway Proving Ground Bombing and Gunnery Range to the north. Water sources are scarce but critical, marked by isolated points like Wildhorse Spr and the Dugway Topaz Well, reflecting the harsh environmental constraints on travel and industry in the West Desert.
