1968 Map of Simpson Gulch SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Big Sandy River meanders through this high desert terrain in Sweetwater County, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the region in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its arid drainage systems, including Simpson Gulch, Carlson Draw, and Bone Draw, which converge toward the river valley. A significant layer of western history is visible in the corridor where the Emigrant Trail traverses the map, marking the path of early pioneers. Modern infrastructure of the era is represented by the Lower Farson Cutoff road and a Gaging Sta on the riverbank, used for monitoring water flow in this crucial watershed. The presence of a Radio Tower and an extensive network of fence lines reflects the mid-century intersection of ranching operations and telecommunications development in this open range.
