1908 Map of Rock Springs

About this map

Rock Springs stands at the heart of this high-desert landscape, serving as a vital industrial hub along the Union Pacific railroad line during the early twentieth century. The map illustrates the concentrated development of the city, showing a dense street grid and rail spurs branching toward nearby settlements like Blairtown and the coal mining interests within the Superior Coal District. Transportation routes like the Eden Valley Road and Superior Road extend through the dry terrain, connecting isolated outposts and industrial sites across the Basin.
