1969 Map of Hogup Bar

About this map

The Old Central Pacific railroad grade cuts through this high desert terrain in Box Elder County, marking the historic path of the first transcontinental rail line. The landscape is defined by the massive Hogup Mountains and the distinct geological feature of Hogup Bar to the northeast. Water management in this arid environment is evident through the Sinks of Dove Creek and the strategically placed Government Well. The 1960s infrastructure is visible in the form of a Landing Strip, a Radio Facility, and isolated ranching features like a Corral and Storage Bin. This orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view, overlaying topographic contours and historic transit routes directly onto the photographic texture of the Utah desert floor.
