1921 Map of Saddleback Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Carbon stands as a focal point in this high-plains landscape, situated along the critical transit corridor of the Union Pacific Railroad. Surveyed just before the 1920s, the map reveals a network of wagon roads, including the Hanna and Medicine Bow Road, that connected early coal-mining and ranching outposts. The arid character of the Saddleback Hills is evident through the naming of vital water sources such as Missouri John Spring, Hi Allen Spring, and Johnson Spring, which were essential for both the railroad and livestock in Carbon County.
