2020 Map of Wahsatch

About this map

Wahsatch sits at a critical junction of transport and topography along the Utah-Wyoming border. This high-country landscape is defined by the historic passage through Echo Canyon, where modern infrastructure follows the same natural corridor used by the Lincoln Highway 30. The map documents the transition from the rugged drainage of Echo Cr in the west to the high plateau country of Evanston in the northeast. Striking geological features like The Needles and numerous named draws such as Sage Creek Draw characterize this divide. The survey captures the network of ranching roads, including Wasatch Rd and Pvt Ranch Rd, that connect isolated hollows like Sulphur Hollow and Burton Hollow to the larger regional centers. For those tracing the evolution of western transit, the alignment of roads and waterways like Yellow Cr provides a clear view of how the land dictates the path of commerce and movement.
