1991 Map of Groome

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The isolated settlement of Groome sits along the southern edge of this map, defined by the industrial crossing of the Lucin Cutoff railroad. This line traverses a stark landscape dominated by the Newfoundland Evaporation Basin, where vast expanses of Mud meet the rising slopes of the Newfoundland Mountains and the Hogup Mountains. Resource extraction is evident in the foothills, with multiple Mines and Gravel Pits located near the peaks. The presence of a single Spring in the north and several survey points like BM 4216 emphasize the remote nature of this Great Salt Lake Desert region. The layout of the tracks and access roads designated as Private reflects the logistical challenges of maintaining a rail corridor through such an unforgiving, salt-caked environment in the late twentieth century.
