1971 Map of Foote Creek Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Foote Creek Lake sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the boundary between Carbon and Albany counties cuts through a terrain defined by water management and transit. In the early 1970s, the area's geography was largely shaped by the Union Pacific and the abandoned Union Pacific Railroad Grade, which trace the path of the original transcontinental rail corridor. The presence of Iron Hill Lake and Thornton Lake, alongside man-made features like the Ditch and Pipeline, illustrate the constant effort to manage water in this arid environment. Significant landmarks like Iron Hill and the prominent Rim provide natural orientation points for those tracing the historic layout of the Rock River Marshall Road and the local communication hubs marked by a Radio Facility and Radio Tower.
