1967 Map of Sand Pass NE

About this map

Fish Springs Flat dominates this desert landscape in the late 1960s, appearing as a broad basin defined by subtle drainage patterns and the meandering Fish Springs Wash. The area represents a remote pocket of the Great Basin where human activity is minimal and focused primarily on resource exploration and basic transit. Evidence of mid-century mineral survey work is visible through several labeled Prospect locations and scattered Drill Holes in the eastern foothills. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks like the Jeep Trail and the more established Sand Pass Road crossing the southern reach. A notable landmark for navigation in this isolation is the Topaz Landing Strip, a simple desert runway that served as a critical access point for this corner of Juab County.
