1968 Map of Blair Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Blair Junction serves as the primary focal point in this high-desert landscape, situated where the northern edge of the Big Smoky Valley meets the rugged slopes of the Monte Cristo Range. The map documents a transition in regional infrastructure during the late 1960s, showing the path of an Old Railroad Grade and a significant Aqueduct cutting across the valley floor. Evidence of mineral exploration and industrial activity is scattered throughout the terrain, marked by various prospects and a Gravel Pit. Notable landmarks for navigation and utility in this arid environment include a Radio Facility, a Dry Well, and a natural Seep tucked into the mountain folds. The survey effectively illustrates the sparse settlement patterns of Esmeralda County, where transportation corridors and isolated mining sites define the human footprint.
