1961 Map of Thatcher Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge dominates the southern landscape of this 1961 survey, where the fresh and brackish waters of North Bay and Vallery Bay meet the extensive Mud Flat terrain. This region of Box Elder County illustrates a complex water management and conservation network, including the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area and the Public Shooting Grounds. The map documents the transition from the high elevations of Thatcher Mountain and the Promontory Mountains down into the fertile Blue Creek Valley. Along the eastern edge, the Union Pacific railroad serves the small agricultural and industrial outposts of Thatcher, Bothwell, and Lampo Junction. This latter junction, situated near a Chemical Plant, highlights the intersection of rural industry and transport during the early 1960s. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Penrose Cemetery near the settlement of Penrose.
