1967 Map of Deeth

About this map

Humboldt River and Marys River converge near the rail settlement of Deeth, where the regional transport infrastructure of the late 1960s is clearly defined. This desert landscape is shaped by the parallel paths of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads, which track the river valley through Dennis Flats. The map reveals a transition from these industrial transit corridors to the agricultural and ranching expanses of Starr Valley, where several family-named watercourses like Starr Creek, Stephens Creek, and Ackler Cr drain toward the basin. Pockets of activity are noted at the Deeth Interchange and a nearby Landing Field, while the presence of the Radio Tower and various wells like Marble Well and Sagebrush Well indicate the management of this arid Elko County terrain.
