1982 Map of Currie

About this map

The Nevada Northern railroad corridor serves as the primary artery through this high-desert landscape, following the floor of the Goshute Valley. The settlement of Currie stands as the central hub of activity, supported by essential water sources like Mustang Well and Walker Well in an otherwise arid environment. Small-scale industrial traces are evident on the periphery, including a Quarry, a Gravel Pit, and scattered Prospect sites that point to the region's mineral interests. To the east, the terrain rises into the Currie Hills and is cut by Currie Canyon, while ephemeral drainages such as Nelson Creek and Phalan Creek define the local topography. This 1982 survey captures the infrastructure of Elko County before significant modern shifts, preserving the location of family-named landmarks like Majors.
