1962 Map of Hunter

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Humboldt River corridor dominates the southern portion of this landscape, serving as a vital artery for transportation through Elko County. In the early 1960s, this corridor supported both the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads, which parallel the river's path. The small settlement of Hunter is situated near this junction, marking a point of human activity amidst the expansive terrain. Northward, the topography rises into the Adobe Range, a complex system of ridges and canyons drained by Susie Creek and its tributaries, including Middle Susie Creek and Dry Susie Creek. Numerous springs and an Airway Beacon suggest a landscape navigated by both cattlemen and early aviators, while several prospects and a quarry indicate the area's mineral interest during this era.
