1968 Map of Rattlesnake Pass

About this map

Hansel Valley defines the lower southern portion of this 1968 survey, where the landscape transitions from broad valley floors into the northern ridges of the Hansel Mountains. The central topographic feature, Franklin Hill, stands as a prominent landmark north of the transit corridor that cuts through Rattlesnake Pass. This pass serves as a critical geographic bottleneck for transport, indicated by the prominent 2 Lane highway that snakes across the terrain. Near the western edge of this route, a localized Gravel Pit points to the area's small-scale extractive activity. The map also records the jurisdictional intersection where the Idaho-Utah state line meets the boundary for Oneida and Box Elder Counties, making it a significant document for tracing historical property lines and regional border demarcations in the late 1960s.
