1965 Map of Millis

About this map

Emigrant Trail routes dominate this mid-1960s landscape, cutting across a terrain defined by deep hollows and high ridges. The Emigrant Stagecoach Trail is clearly delineated alongside a modern Historical Marker, preserving the memory of westward expansion as it intersected the Bear River valley. This area shows a layering of transportation history, where the industrial presence of the Union Pacific railroad and an Old Railroad Grade run parallel to older pioneer paths. Utility and water management are prominent through labels for the Evanston Pumping Sta and a network of ditches, including the City Ditch and Old City Ditch. Family-named geographic features like Glasscock Hollow, Knight Hollow, and Bernard Hollow offer valuable clues for genealogical research in this part of Uinta County.
