1980 Map of Salina

About this map

The Sevier Plateau and Fish Lake Plateau dominate this 1980 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by high-elevation water management and early transportation corridors. The Denver and Rio Grande Western RR follows the Sevier River valley through settlements like Salina and Sigurd, while the newly developed Interstate 70 carves a path eastward across the Old Woman Plateau. This era shows the critical role of reservoirs such as Lost Creek Reservoir and Mill Meadow Reservoir in supporting the valley's agricultural communities.
