1957 Map of Elko West

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Humboldt River corridor dominates this mid-century landscape, serving as the vital artery for transportation and settlement in northeastern Nevada. The city of Elko is depicted as a thriving hub where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads parallel the water, supporting a network of infrastructure including the Elko Municipal Airport and Elko County Fairgrounds. To the north, the Elko Colony Indian Reservation sits adjacent to the developing city grid, while the southern reaches of the map reveal the older transportation heritage of the region through the Elko-Hamilton Stage Route winding through Fourmile Canyon. From the civic center marked by the Courthouse and High Sch to the industrial Oil Tanks and Sewage Disposal Plant, this survey documents a period of significant post-war stabilization in this high-desert community.
