2011 Map of Iron Point

About this map

The Humboldt River meanders across the northern portion of this Nevada landscape, accompanied by the slow waters of Herrin Slough as it winds through the Pumpernickel Valley. This area preserves a layered history of western transit, where the modern interstate corridor parallels the historic Old Emigrant Trl. Near Emigrant Canyon, the terrain shifts from open valley to more confined geographic features that once challenged overland travelers. Small settlements and named locales like Iron Point and Red House anchor the map, serving as critical points of reference in a territory defined by its drainage patterns and vast alluvial stretches. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is represented by the Pumpernickel Interchange, illustrating how modern logistics have mapped themselves onto the same essential routes followed by pioneers over a century prior.
