1969 Map of Elgin

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Elgin serves as the primary landmark in this high-desert landscape, situated where the Union Pacific railroad corridor follows the winding course of the Meadow Valley Wash. The map reveals a transition from the broad, alluvial plains of Kane Springs Wash to the dramatic elevation of the Meadow Valley Mountains in the southeastern quadrant. This 1969 field-checked survey documents a region defined by its water-carved topography, including Pennsylvania Canyon and numerous unnamed washes. The presence of several corrals and 4WD tracks suggests a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and remote transit, highlighting the isolation of this corner of Lincoln County before modern developments reached the interior basins.
