1972 Map of Wellington
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Wellington serves as the central hub of this Carbon County landscape, situated at the intersection of critical industrial and agricultural infrastructure in the early 1970s. The town's layout is defined by its proximity to the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad and the Price River, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The agricultural character of the area is evidenced by the extensive Wellington Canal system, while the heavy industrial footprint of the Utah coal and mineral region is visible through features like the Tailings Pond, Gas Well, and various Gravel Pits. Local civic life is marked by the Rodeo Ground, a Cem west of the main settlement, and the County Airport located in the northwest corner near Hayes Wash.
