2014 Map of East Ely

About this map

Steptoe Valley dominates the central landscape of this survey, flanked by the rising peaks of the Duck Creek Range to the east. The map captures the infrastructure of East Ely, where the town's grid transitions into the industrial zones of N Industrial Way and S Industrial Way. Regional aviation history is centered at Ely Airport/Yelland Field, while the area's mining and milling heritage is represented by the Baltimore Mill near Lackawanna Springs. The eastern portion of the map climbs into the protected lands of the Humboldt National Forest, showcasing a stark contrast between the developed valley floor and the high-elevation wilderness. Numerous water sources, including Ely Warm Springs and Steptoe Spring, dot the terrain, indicating the vital importance of natural springs in this high-desert environment near the settlements of Lavon and Mosier.
