1968 Map of Gilbert SE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Smoky Valley dominates the northern landscape of this Esmeralda County region, where the arid floor transitions into the massive Sand Dunes and the rising slopes of Lone Mtn. In the late 1960s, this area was defined by the intersection of industrial infrastructure and remnant transit routes, most notably the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the valley floor. Evidence of utility and ranching activity persists at the Coaldale Substation and a lone Corral near the northern boundary. The terrain is marked by a network of Jeep Trails and scattered Springs on the mountain flanks, while localized Gravel Pits indicate mid-century extraction. This survey provides a precise look at the high-desert geography before later development, documenting the specific locations of wells and ruins against a backdrop of shifting sands.
