1972 Map of Zane

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across this arid Iron County landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Zane. In this early 1970s environment, the railroad serves as the primary infrastructure connecting the high desert terrain with the broader regional network. The topography is defined by the drainage of Mountain Spring Wash, which carries seasonal runoff from the higher elevations to the north toward the flatter basins below. To the east, the prominent geologic formation of Black Reef stands as a distinct landmark against the surrounding slopes. This survey also records the location of Wells, indicating the critical importance of water access for ranching or railroad operations in this corner of Utah. Transport across the terrain is limited to the rail line and the primitive Pine Valley Road, illustrating the sparse, utility-focused development of the area at the time.
