1971 Map of Matlin

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Central Pacific railroad grade defines the landscape of this corner of Box Elder County, cutting a path through the arid terrain south of the Matlin Mountains. This 1971 field-checked map captures the remote settlement of Matlin and the remnants of the Old Central Pacific Grade, illustrating the region's historical reliance on transcontinental transport routes. To the north, the topographic relief rises sharply into the Matlin Basin and Coyote Hill, while the lower elevations are marked by sparse infrastructure, including a Well and scattered Jeep Trails. Water management in this high-desert environment is evidenced by the Horse Mtn Reservoir, a vital landmark near Sheep Mtn. The map provides a detailed view of the interaction between the early industrial railroad corridors and the natural drainages like Dove Creek that cross the alluvial fans.
