1968 Map of Reliance
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Reliance and its surrounding coal-country settlements define this landscape in the late 1960s, a region deeply shaped by the mining and transport needs of the Union Pacific railroad. The map documents a complex industrial network where the Old RR Grade and several junction points, including Stansbury Junction and Winton Junction, trace the movement of resources through the high desert. Beyond the main town sites of Stansbury, Winton, and Dines, smaller landmarks such as a Racetrack and a Radio Facility appear alongside the natural drainage of Killpecker Creek. To the east, the terrain rises into the broad expanse of the North Baxter Basin, while the western portion of the sheet is marked by the presence of a Substation and a Radio Tower (KVRS), reflecting the infrastructure of mid-century Sweetwater County.
