1968 Map of Salt Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Hansel Mountains dominate this 1968 landscape, forming a prominent north-south ridge that divides the western Sage Valley from the eastern Hansel Valley. This arid terrain in Box Elder County reflects a late-century industrial footprint in a largely uninhabited space, marked by a significant Pipeline cutting across the mountain slopes and a Radio Tower positioned on one of the higher peaks. To the south, the topography flattens dramatically into the Salt Wells Flat and Mud Flat, where the water of Salt Wells serves as a lone hydrological landmark. The map tracks the drainage of Hansel Valley Wash as it meanders through the eastern valley, providing a detailed record of the desert hydrology and land use during this era. Traceable markers like a Borrow Pit indicate localized excavation and utility maintenance in this high-desert environment.
