1969 Map of Elgin NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash carves through the center of this Lincoln County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the Union Pacific railroad line. This late 1960s survey documents a high-desert environment defined by the steep elevation of the Clover Mountains and the dramatic relief of Rainbow Canyon. Small rail-oriented settlements like Stine and Boyd are positioned along the tracks, providing evidence of the essential transport infrastructure required to navigate these mountain passes. Evidence of mineral exploration appears with noted mines northeast of Boyd, while various tributary drainages such as Willow Creek, Acklin Canyon, and Rock Springs Canyon feed into the central wash. The map also records the Sawmill Trail winding through the eastern heights, reflecting the local history of logging or grazing access within the canyon systems.
