About this map

East Ely serves as the focal point for this Nevada survey, where the valley floor meets the rising slopes of the Duck Creek Range. The landscape is defined by its transition from a structured rail and street grid to the broader agricultural and industrial outskirts. Notable landmarks like the Baltimore Mill and the Ely Airport (Yelland Field) reflect the area's economic foundations, while the proximity of Ely Warm Springs, Lackawanna Springs, and Warm Spring highlights the vital role of water in this arid high-desert environment.

The settlement pattern follows the established corridors of the northern Great Basin, with names like McGill Junction and Hiline marking key intersections. South of the town center, community spaces such as the White Pine Golf Course and the Drive Inn Theatre appear alongside rural holdings like Georgetown Ranch. Small clusters at Mosier and Lavon further illustrate the sparse but deliberate distribution of homesteads and infrastructure across the Steptoe Valley.
