1964 Map of Flanigan

About this map

Flanigan sits at a critical junction of the high desert rail corridor in the mid-1960s, where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific lines converge. This arid landscape on the California Nevada border is defined by its reliance on isolated water sources like Flanigan Well and High Rock Well to sustain life and industry. The presence of the Bonham Sch near the tracks suggests a small, localized community supporting the railroad operations and nearby ranching interests. To the west, the expansive bed of Honey Lake dominates the terrain, illustrating the dramatic seasonal geography of the region. The map also traces the Lassen Co Washoe Co boundary, marking the transition between the two states through a network of Jeep Trails and remote outposts.
