1971 Map of Lofgreen

About this map

Lofgreen serves as a central point of reference in this arid landscape, situated where the Union Pacific line cuts through the broad expanse of Rush Valley. The rail corridor is flanked by essential water infrastructure like the Water Tank, Cummings Well, and Scranton Well, reflecting the critical importance of reliable water sources for both steam-era transit and local ranching. To the west, the Wasatch National Forest borders the valley floor, where the terrain begins its ascent into the Vernon Hills and the sheltered pocket of Sharpes Valley. The presence of numerous Quarries, Borrow Pits, and a Gravel Pit indicates a landscape shaped by mineral extraction and road building. Seasonal drainage patterns are clearly defined by Sabie Creek and Boulter Creek, which channel runoff from the surrounding uplands toward the valley basin.
