1969 Map of Hampton

About this map

Union Pacific rail tracks bisect the landscape near the small siding of Hampton, following the natural corridor carved by the winding Muddy Creek. This 1969 field-checked survey illustrates the high-desert topography at the border of Lincoln and Uinta counties. The area is defined by the confluence of Little Muddy Creek and its larger namesake, with numerous benchmark elevations like BM 6393 and BM 6418 providing precise data points across the arid terrain. The map captures a moment when the transportation network relied heavily on these established rail lines and primitive roads through the southwestern Wyoming sagebrush country.
