1967 Map of Cobre

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Cobre stands at a historic junction in the high desert of Elko County, marking the point where the Nevada Northern railroad met the main line of the Southern Pacific. This 1967 survey captures the stark layout of the Goshute Valley, where transportation and ranching dictated the thin footprint of human activity. To the west, Squaw Creek Ranch is situated near the seasonal drainage of East Squaw Creek, while the small settlement of Oasis serves as a lonely outpost along the desert road. The landscape is etched with a network of Jeep Trails and dotted with several Gravel Pits, reflecting the area's industrial utility. Two Landing Strips emphasize the necessity of aerial access in this expansive basin, which remains defined by its isolation and its role as a critical rail-transfer hub between the copper mines to the south and the transcontinental line.
