1969 Map of Wade

About this map

Wade serves as a central point along the Burlington Northern railroad in this Carbon County landscape, where the rail line follows the natural corridor created by Jack Creek. The map documents a rugged terrain shaped by the South Fork and the North Fork of Bridger Creek, illustrating a transition from early pioneer settlement to industrial development. Isolated dwellings such as Parker Cabin and Baker Cabin are recorded alongside signs of extractive enterprise, including a Mine and various Prospect locations. Water management is a visible priority for this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Mutual Ditch and the Depression Reservoir with its associated Spillway. The infrastructure of the era is further marked by a prominent Pipeline traversing the southern portion of the quadrangle near the settlement of Castle.
