1939 Map of Soldier Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Soldier Summit sits at the high point of this 1939 survey, marking a critical mountain pass where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad traverses the Colorado River Great Basin Watershed Divide. The map details a landscape defined by its rail-and-resource economy, showing the transit hubs of Tucker and Gilluly along the line, and the Pondtown Mine to the south. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Scofield Reservoir and the Price River, while family-run operations such as Daniels Ranch and Richards Ranch dot the valleys between Bennion Ridge and Aagard Ridge. Topography by R. T. Evans and W. B. Upton, Jr. captures the transition from the Uinta National Forest to the Manti-La Sal National Forest, documenting the complex network of spring-fed canyons and high-altitude flats before mid-century modernization.
