1971 Map of Hardy Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Goshute Valley (Depression) dominates this high-desert basin in Elko County, showing a landscape defined by industrial infrastructure and water management. The intersection of the Nevada Northern and Western Pacific railroads highlights the region's importance as a transportation corridor during the early 1970s. Tracing the seasonal flow of Hardy Creek, the map reveals the sparse but vital water sources required for local livestock and industry, including the Squaw Flat Well and a prominent Aqueduct. Numerous Borrow Pits along the rail lines and primary roads suggest the ongoing maintenance of these remote routes. For those studying the evolution of Nevada's infrastructure, the presence of a Landing Field and a Radio Facility near the mountain foothills indicates the modernization of desert navigation and communication during this period.
