1968 Map of Thayer Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Union Pacific rail lines and the historical passage of the Overland Trail dominate this high-desert corridor of Sweetwater County. The map documents the industrial and transit landscape of the late 1960s, centered on the Thayer Junction and the northern settlement of Superior. Evidence of the region’s coal mining and energy heritage is visible through scattered prospects, a Gas Well, and an old railroad grade that snakes through Horsethief Canyon.
