Thompson serves as a central hub for the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad in this 1958 survey, where the arid high desert landscape is defined by industrial extraction and dramatic geological formations. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the rail line and the tiny stops of Vista and Elba, while the southern reaches reveal the early boundaries and features of Arches National Monument. This area, including the Devils Garden, is home to iconic natural structures like Landscape Arch, Double O Arch, and Skyline Arch.
