1967 Map of Lucin NE

About this map

Old Emigrant Trail cuts a diagonal path through this arid basin, a testament to the overland migration routes that once traversed the high desert of Box Elder County. The terrain is dominated by the southern reaches of the Grouse Creek Mountains, where steep contours descend toward the flatlands. To the south, the Central Pacific Old Grade traces the historic path of the transcontinental railroad, marking the technological shift from wagon trains to steam power. Water remains the critical factor for survival and settlement here, evidenced by clusters of springs such as Owl Spring, Rabbit Spring, and East Rabbit Spring. The presence of the Rabbit Spring Reservoir and scattered industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit reflect the mid-century land use in this sparsely populated region of northwestern Utah.
