1962 Map of Elko East

About this map

Te-Moak Indian Reservation lands dominate the northeastern quadrant of this mid-century survey, while the city of Elko begins to expand beyond its Elko corporate boundary in the northwest. The transportation corridor along the Humboldt River is densely packed with industrial and logistical infrastructure, including the parallel tracks of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads. Local communication and navigation landmarks such as Radio Station (KELK) and the Landmark Letter on the hills provide fixed points for the era's pilots and residents.
