1987 Map of Currie

About this map

Currie serves as a lone settlement hub along the Nevada Northern railroad line in this 1987 survey of the high desert basin. The landscape is dominated by the broad expanse of Steptoe Valley and Goshute Valley, where the waters of Goshute Lake rest near the base of the Dolly Varden Mountains. This era shows a region defined by its wide internal drainages and isolated mountain ranges, including the Cherry Creek Range and Kinsley Mountains. Evidence of the region's ranching and transit history is found in the network of remote water sources like Boone Spring and Ferguson Spring. To the east, the map captures the transition into the Wendover Air Force Range and the Goshute Indian Reservation, illustrating the intersection of military, indigenous, and industrial land use in the Great Basin.
