1969 Map of Vigo

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash defines the life and movement of this Lincoln County corridor, serving as the natural pathway for the Union Pacific railroad. In this late-1960s landscape, the small railroad sidings of Vigo and Galt anchor the valley, providing critical transit points through the desert. The terrain is dominated by the northern reaches of the Mormon Mountains, where deep drainages like Hackberry Canyon and Vigo Canyon carve into the elevated plateaus. Water is a scarce and vital resource, noted specifically at Hackberry Spring and another unnamed Spring to the west. This survey illustrates the essential relationship between hydrology and the transcontinental rail network, showing how steam-era infrastructure continued to shape the region's geography well into the modern diesel era.
