1968 Map of Lake Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Lake Ridge rises above the expansive salt-crusted terrain of northwestern Utah in this 1968 orthophotomap. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the high ground of the ridge to the broad, level expanse of the Mud Flat to the west. This area is historically significant as the route of the Old Central Pacific Grade, which cuts diagonally across the salt desert. The presence of several Spring (Salt) locations and a scattered Well highlight the scarce water resources that once dictated survival and transit in this arid environment. A small Gravel Pit near the northern boundary suggests localized material extraction, likely supporting the maintenance of these remote transportation corridors through the Great Salt Lake desert.
