Ennis told the old man at the gas station that he was from the hinterland town of Sage, right along the Utah border.

The deleted gastation scene reveals what Larry and Diana were imagining as Ennis's first moments in Signal.

On the FindingBrokeback.com page devoted to the "Signal Gas Station" deleted scene, there is a link to a Google map of this filming location.

ENNIS

’Scuse me. Mightin’ you tell me where the Farm and Ranch Employment Office is at?

OLD MAN
(not as sour as he looks, points)

In that trailer house. Three blocks down. You’ll see it.

Ennis nods, tips his hat, starts off.

In the deleted gas station scene, the Old Man describes Sage as a nearly-to-Utah kind of town, hardly even in Wyoming.

Ennis wasn't sure how to reply to the overtalkative old man who ran the Signal gas station.

From FindingBrokeback.com:

What happened to the Signal Gas Station scene? The most compelling reason for omitting it is that it postpones some of the film’s most artful imagery. The captivating encounter between Jack and Ennis outside Joe Aguirre’s trailer is one of the film’s jewels and, as such, deserved prominent placement. Additionally, the film, like the story upon which it is based, is masterfully tight. By removing this scene, Lee gave Brokeback Mountain added directness and impact.

Ang Lee felt that the removal of this scene "gave Brokeback Mountain added directness and impact."

Ennis steps out of the truck, no suitcase, just a grocery sack stuffed with his only shirt and pair of Levi’s.

The truck moves again, almost before he hits the ground, spraying him with dust.

Don’t let that goddamn Joe Aguirre send you up to Brokeback without no thirty-ought. There’s coyote’s up there, they’ll eat your damn sheep and your damn jackass, too. With a thirty-ought, you might hold your own.

ENNIS, surprised by this torrent of words, clears his throat.
