1961 Map of Kanda

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor defines the development of this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, following the valley of Bitter Creek. The small settlement of Kanda sits at a critical junction where the modern rails parallel the historic path of the Overland Trail, illustrating the long-standing importance of this natural transportation gap. Rising sharply to the west, the escarpment of White Mountain creates a dramatic physical barrier, breached only by rugged tracks like White Mountain Road and Greens Canyon. The map records a landscape transitioning into a modern utility hub, marked by a Radio Facility (KVR), a Racetrack, and multiple Pipelines crossing the terrain. These infrastructure layers reveal how the historic westward migration route evolved into a mid-century energy and communication corridor.
