1973 Map of Hastings Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Hastings Trail winds through this arid expanse of the Cedar Mountains in Tooele County, marking a route famously used by westward emigrants. This 1970s orthophotomap provides a clear view of the mountain pass and the difficult geography that early travelers navigated. The arrival of industrial infrastructure is evident by the Western Pacific line cutting across the northern portion of the quadrangle. In the higher elevations, small-scale extraction is documented through labels for a Quarry, a Mine, and several Prospects. Vital water sources in this desert environment are specifically identified, including Redlum Spring and Henry Spring, which were essential landmarks for survival. The map captures a moment when the corridor through Hastings Pass served as both a historical corridor and a site for modern resource exploration.
