1968 Map of Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Salmon Falls Creek cuts through this high-desert region of Elko County, providing a corridor for both nature and industry. In the late 1960s, the Union Pacific railroad followed the drainage of the creek through Henry, where a station stood near the Vineyard Ranch. The landscape is defined by rugged elevation changes, from the prominent China Mtn in the east to the White Ridge and Bonanza Canyon in the northwest. Water management for the arid terrain is evident through features like the Headgate Dam and an associated Tunnel along the creek. Scattered operations such as the Wilson Mine and various Gravel Pits reflect the extractive economy of the era, while family-named locales like Boies and Hubbard Ranch mark the persistent presence of ranching and early settlement in the Great Basin.
