USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The industrial coal landscape of Carbon County is clearly defined in this 1972 survey, centered on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad corridor. The geography is dominated by narrow canyons and active extraction sites, including Castle Gate Mine No 1, Castle Gate Mine No 4, and the Aberdeen Mine. These mining operations are supported by a complex rail network, with the Spring Canyon Railroad and the Utah Railway branching through the terrain to serve coal camps and loading points.
