2018 Map of Upsal Hogback
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
California Emigrant Trl winds through the desolate expanse of the Fortymile Desert, tracing a historical path through one of the most challenging segments of the westward migration route. This 2018 survey documents the arid landscape of Churchill County, dominated by the salt crust of the Carson Sink to the northeast and the stark rises of the Hot Springs Mountains in the northwest. The presence of the namesake Upsal Hogback provides a distinct geological focal point amidst the sprawling desert floor. The map serves as a contemporary record of this historically significant corridor, where the lack of water once made travel perilous for early pioneers.
