1970 Map of Haystack Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Dug Springs Stage Sta (Ruins) serves as a quiet reminder of early frontier travel along the Overland Trail as it crosses the arid expanse of Sweetwater County. This 1970 field check documents a landscape defined by significant natural landmarks and primitive transport routes. The terrain is dominated by the massive formations of The Haystacks and the distinctive Man and Boy Buttes, while Haystack Flats occupies the central plateau. Water sources are scarce but critical to the area's history, marked by Wild Rose Spring and the drainage of Barrel Springs Draw. To the south, the topographic contours reveal the sharp drainage patterns of Horseshoe Bend and East Haystack Wash. This survey records the intersection of nineteenth-century emigrant paths and mid-century Jeep Trails, providing a clear look at the enduring geometry of the high desert corridor.
