1970 Map of Fort La Clede NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Overland Trail tracks across this high desert landscape, marking a historic corridor of westward migration through Sweetwater County. The terrain is defined by the sharp vertical relief of The Haystacks, which rise abruptly in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. Drainage patterns are dominated by the winding course of Laney Wash, which carves through the arid basins between the uplifted ridges. This 1970 field-checked survey captures the area before modern infrastructure significantly altered the primitive transit routes. Aside from the primary historic trail, the map identifies various unnamed Jeep Trails, indicating a landscape primarily accessed for resource exploration or ranching rather than permanent settlement.
