1957 Map of Beowawe

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Humboldt River carves a critical path through this basin and range landscape, serving as the historical corridor for the California Trail and Emigrant Route. This 1957 survey documents the intersection of pioneer history and mid-century infrastructure, where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads parallel the river's course near the settlement of Beowawe. The map identifies several poignant landmarks of the westward migration, including the Maidens Grave Cemetery and the Pioneers Grave situated along the riverbanks.
