1968 Map of Echo Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Railroad Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, situated between the uplifted terrain of the Pancake Range and the Reveille Range. The survey, conducted in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, centers on a desert environment where water and movement are the primary features. Echo Canyon Reservoir sits as a critical water source within the canyon, serving as a landmark in an area defined by wide basins and steep ridges. The presence of Nyala Road and a network of Jeep Trails indicates the limited transportation infrastructure of the late 1960s, reflecting a period of remote land management and mineral exploration in Nye County.
