1942 Map of Soldier Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Great Basin Watershed Divide runs through this high-altitude landscape, separating the headwaters of the Price River and White River from the Colorado River Watershed. At the center of this mountain pass sits Soldier Summit, a critical railway point on the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. This 1942 edition reflects the area's essential transportation and industrial importance during the mid-20th century, serving as a vital corridor between the Wasatch Front and the coal-rich basins to the southeast. Settlement is sparse, characterized by working homesteads such as Daniels Ranch, Coddington Ranch, and Richards Ranch, along with the small railroad community at Colton. To the south, the waters of the Scofield Reservoir and operations at the Pondtown Mine highlight the intersection of natural resources and early 20th-century industry in the high country of the Manti National Forest.
