1967 Map of Wanship

About this map

The confluence of the Weber River and Silver Creek serves as the central focal point of this 1967 survey. The settlement of Wanship is captured just before major modern infrastructural shifts, positioned along the Union Pacific line as it follows the river valley. To the south, the recently completed Wanship Dam impounds the waters of Rockport Lake, creating the centerpiece of Rockport State Park. This transition from riverine agriculture to a managed reservoir system is a primary feature of the landscape during this era.
