1972 Map of Decoy SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Goshute Valley (Depression) dominates this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nevada, characterized by its wide, flat basin and sparse infrastructure. The rail line of the Nevada Northern skirts the northwestern edge of the map, providing a vital connection through this arid terrain in the early 1970s. This survey, based on 1970 aerial photography, reveals a landscape largely defined by the utility of its trails rather than established settlements. A network of Jeep Trails crisscrosses the valley floor, connecting various elevation markers and survey points such as BM 5600 and BM 5595. These routes signify the ongoing human presence required for ranching, surveying, and resource management in a region where the natural topography of the Great Basin dictates the pace of movement and development.
