1957 Map of Delaplain

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The high desert borderlands of Nevada and Idaho come into focus in the late 1950s, centered on the high-elevation ranching and transport corridors of northeastern Elko County. The Union Pacific railroad tracks and the early infrastructure of Jackpot define the northern edge of the sheet near the state line, while the San Jacinto Ranch and the community of San Jacinto mark a center of settlement further south. The landscape is dominated by the Granite Range and prominent summits like Middle Stack Mountain and Tijuana John Peak, with numerous drainages such as Salmon Falls Creek and Shoshone Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of small-scale mountain industry appears in the form of several shafts near the high peaks, while Warm Springs and Deer Springs suggest the critical role of reliable water sources in this arid environment for both livestock and travelers.
