1971 Map of Neels

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary artery through this high desert region of Millard County, connecting the small settlement of Neels to the broader rail network. To the west, the rugged Cricket Mountains dominate the horizon, while the eastern portion of the landscape is defined by the ephemeral path of the Beaver River. Water management is central to life in this arid basin, as evidenced by a series of engineered catchments including the Beaver River Reservoir, West Neels Reservoir, and Headquarters Reservoir. The map reflects a landscape of utility and industrial extraction, featuring a Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit along with a dedicated Substation. These features, alongside the AT & T Road Reservoir, illustrate how transportation and infrastructure were adapted to the challenging terrain of the Great Basin during the early 1970s.
