1965 Map of Elko
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Humboldt River corridor serves as the primary artery through this high-desert basin and range landscape, where the city of Elko sits at the junction of the Elko Hills and the Adobe Range. In the mid-1960s, the region's transportation network was defined by the parallel tracks of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads, which connected smaller sidings and stations like Halleck Station and Shafter. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range, illustrating the massive scale of military land use on the edge of the Desert during the Cold War era.
