U.S. 40 Cross Section of the United States of America (Chapter 56: Byers Canyon)

 
That was then (1953)





From chapter 56:
Just west of Hot Sulphur Springs the railroad, the highway, and the pole-line all crowd into the narrow passageway that the Colorado River has cut through an opposing barrier of hard rock.
