1957 Map of Dunphy

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Humboldt River corridor dominates this mid-century survey of the high desert, serving as the primary artery for both water and transport across northern Nevada. This landscape is defined by the parallel tracks of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads, which hug the river's path and support small outposts like Dunphy, Rixies, and Kampos. To the north, the Sheep Creek Range rises above the valley, while the southern reaches are marked by the industrial footprints of the Argenta Mine and the Shelton Mine along the Argenta Rim. The presence of The Geysers in Whirlwind Valley and various isolated springs like White House Spring underscores the critical role of geothermal and water resources in this arid environment. Ranching interests are represented by the T-S Ranch and Dunphy Ranch, located near the winding Blue House Slough, showing how human settlement adapted to the complex drainage patterns of the Great Basin.
