1915 Map of Wellington

About this map

Wellington serves as the primary settlement on this survey of Carbon County, situated at the junction where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad meets the Price River. The map captures a high-desert landscape defined by the dramatic escarpment of the Book Cliffs, which separates the high plateaus of Emma Park from the broad expanse of Clark Valley. To the south, the Midland Trail provides a clear view of early transcontinental travel routes through the region, following the path of the railroad and the Sunnyside Branch line.
