1969 Map of Gandolfo Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Gandolfo Canyon and Ryan Canyon dominate the western portion of this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, where the terrain drops sharply toward the valley floor. The map records a transition from the steep canyon walls to a broad alluvial plain marked by industrial and transit activity. Significant for its historical context, the Old Overland Road cuts across the valley, tracing a route used long before modern highways. Resource extraction is evident through several scattered sites including Gravel Pits and a Borrow Pit. A precise surveying point, BM 5877 Reese River SW Base, provides a fixed coordinate in this expansive terrain. The scattered presence of numerous wells and a Storage Bin suggests a landscape managed for cattle or small-scale desert operations during the late 1960s.
