2014 Map of Rozel

About this map

Golden Spike National Historic Site occupies the eastern portion of this quadrangle, marking the landscape where the first transcontinental railroad was famously completed. The topography is defined by the transition from the high ground of Black Mtn and the Rozel Hills down toward the northern reaches of the Great Salt Lake. The settlement of Rozel sits at the base of these hills, overlooking the broad expanse of Rozel Flat. This 2014 survey documents a region where modern rural infrastructure, such as Rozel Flats Rd, intersects with one of the most significant preservation sites in American transportation history. The grid system of T10N R8W and surrounding townships organizes this arid terrain, showing the sparse but deliberate layout of roads and boundaries in northern Utah.
