About this map

Emigrant Trail traces a historic route through this high-altitude landscape on the Utah-Wyoming border, following the natural passage through Echo Canyon. This 1991 revision of mid-century aerial surveys captures the rugged transition between the Rich and Summit county lines. The settlement at Wahsatch serves as a focal point near the northern end of the canyon, while Wasatch sits just across the state line in Wyoming.

Evidence of the region's resource and transit infrastructure is prominent, from numerous pipelines and oil wells to the Sewage Disposal Ponds near the Evanston corporate boundary. Natural landmarks like The Needles and Cache Cave offer points of interest for local historians, while the drainage of Yellow Creek and Willow Creek defines the local topography. The presence of a Trailer Park and several Gravel Pit operations reflects the modern land use at the time of the survey.
