1967 Map of Fish Springs NW

About this map

The Dugway Proving Ground dominates the northern expanse of this landscape, its boundary marking a sharp transition into the wetlands of the Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge to the south. Historically significant transportation routes intersect this arid terrain, notably the Pony Express Road which skirts the base of the Fish Springs Range. The presence of numerous water sources such as Wilson Health Springs, Deadman Spring, and the North Springs highlights the critical importance of reliable water for travelers and wildlife in the Great Basin. Within the refuge, managed water bodies like Harrison Pool and Pintail Pool indicate a structured approach to conservation. The map also delineates the administrative transition across the Tooele Co Juab Co line, emphasizing the region's isolated yet heavily managed character during the late 1960s.
