1971 Map of Coal Mine Canyon SE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The North Fork Humboldt River carves a distinct green corridor through this Elko County landscape, serving as a primary water source in an otherwise arid region. In the early 1970s, the area remained largely defined by livestock management and mineral access, as evidenced by the network of Jeep Trails and the prominent Coal Mine Road that winds through Coal Mine Canyon. These routes connected remote rangeland to established water points, such as Twelvemile Well and Devils Gate Well. The presence of the Elko N Base landmark suggests the importance of this terrain for regional surveying and geodetic control. Topographic detail illustrates the complex drainage systems feeding into Coal Mine Creek, which eventually meets the river to the east, showing the typical Western rangeland infrastructure where isolated wells like North Fork Well supported the cattle industry of the era.
