About this map

Steptoe Valley forms the central corridor of this Nevada landscape, where the town of East Ely and the neighborhood of Calumet meet the southern edge of the desert basin. The industrial and transportation history of White Pine County is evident in the presence of the Baltimore Mill and the expansive infrastructure of Ely Airport / Yelland Field. These features reflect the region's reliance on mining and mineral processing, while the surrounding grid of local roads like McGill Rd and Airport Rd connects scattered settlements such as Mosier and Lavon.

The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the rising slopes of the Duck Creek Range within the Humboldt National Forest, providing a sharp vertical contrast to the valley floor. Water sources are critical here, with several thermal features including Lackawanna Springs and Ely Warm Springs dotting the western foothills. The map documents a contemporary network of US routes and county roads that navigate the complex terrain between these springs and the high peaks.
