1965 Map of Edna Mountain

About this map

Humboldt River waters wind through a landscape defined by the heavy infrastructure of mid-century Nevada, where the dual tracks of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads parallel the newly constructed Interstate 80. This corridor through Emigrant Canyon connects the settlement of Golconda to the rail stops at Preble and Iron Point. The map documents a transition in regional transport, showing the legacy U.S. 40 alongside modern features like the Pumpernickel Interchange.
