1958 Map of East Ely

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

East Ely serves as the industrial and transportation anchor of this high-desert basin, where the high-altitude peaks of the Duck Creek Range meet the floor of the Steptoe Valley. The landscape is defined by the logistics of the mid-20th-century copper era, centered around the infrastructure of the Nevada Northern Railroad and its connection at McGill Junction. While the eastern edge is dominated by the steep, timbered slopes of the Humboldt National Forest, the valley floor reveals a network of gravel pits, reservoirs, and air travel facilities at Yelland Field. Traces of local life and ranching history are scattered throughout, from the White Pine County Fairgrounds and Georgetown Ranch to the vital water sources at Lackawanna Sprs and Steptoe Creek that sustained this arid corridor.
