1983 Map of Jackson

About this map

Southern Pacific tracks cut a straight horizontal line across this arid stretch of Box Elder County, providing a vital transportation corridor through the Great Salt Lake Desert. Near the eastern edge of the quadrangle lies the settlement of Jackson, situated where the railroad meets the open expanse of Mud Flat. This 1983 orthophotomosaic, based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s, reveals the sparse infrastructure of the region, including several sections of Jeep Trail and areas marked Private. The terrain is defined by the stark contrast between the level alkaline basins and the prominent elevations of Pigeon Mountain and the Little Pigeon Hills. A singular Spring provides one of the few water sources in this remote landscape, highlighting the geographical challenges faced by those maintaining the rail lines and regional survey routes during this era.
