1951 Map of Fallon
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Lahonton Valley irrigation systems define the landscape of the early 1950s, where a complex network of waterways like the U S Canal and Upper Diagonal Canal feed the agricultural lands surrounding Fallon. The town serves as a hub of early Nevada infrastructure, connected by the Southern Pacific railroad and anchored by the U S Experiment Station. Evidence of earlier eras remains visible through the Pony Express Route and the Pony Express Monument situated near the Deadman Mountains. The map reveals a transition in land use, noting an Island Sch (aban'd) and the Sheckler Reservoir (Aban'd), while the large Naval Reservation occupies the southeastern terrain. Rural life is marked by numerous country schools, including St Clair Sch and Lone Tree Sch, alongside the prominent Smith Ranch.
