1966 Map of Humboldt Salt Marsh

About this map

Dixie Valley dominates this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a vast catchment between the Stillwater Range and the Clan Alpine Mts. The western portion of the valley floor is occupied by the Humboldt Salt Marsh (Dry), a characteristic Great Basin feature defined by seasonal drainage and high evaporation. Human presence is sparse, centered primarily on the Boyer Ranch and its adjacent Landing Strip. Local history is preserved at a site marked Graves north of the ranch, providing a point of interest for genealogists tracking early desert families.
