The Golden Spike National Historic Site anchors the northwestern corner of this 2014 survey, marking the commemorative grounds where the first transcontinental railroad was completed. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes of the Promontory Mountains, where deeply incised drainages like Big Canyon, Davis Canyon, North Canyon, and South Canyon cut through the rugged terrain. These geological features provide a stark contrast to the flatter basins to the east, where Blue Cr flows through the lowlands.
