About this map

The Golden Spike National Historic Site stands as a central landmark in this 1989 portrait of Box Elder County, where the desert flats meet the northern reaches of the Great Salt Lake. This landscape is defined by the transition from the arid Hansel Valley and the North Promontory Mountains to the fertile Malad Valley irrigation systems. The eastern edge is anchored by the dense settlements of Tremonton, Garland, and Brigham City along the Bear River, illustrating the agricultural development of the region during the late 20th century.

Transit corridors like the Union Pacific Railroad and Interstate 15 facilitate movement through the mountain passes of the Wellsville Mountains and West Hills. To the south, the expansive wetlands of the Bear River National Migratory Bird Refuge and Public Shooting Grounds State Waterfowl Management Area line the shores of North Bay, providing a clear view of the environmental conservation efforts established alongside the area's rail and ranching history.
