1971 Map of Jungo NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Western Pacific railroad cuts a straight, solitary line across this arid landscape in the early 1970s. This orthophotomap, which layers topographic data over a rectified aerial photograph, reveals the stark contrast between the bright, reflective surfaces of the Alkali Flats and the surrounding textured basins. The area is dominated by the broad expanse of Desert Flat, where the lack of permanent settlement emphasizes the scale of the Great Basin terrain. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including lines for Township 35 and 36 North, provides the only human-imposed structure outside of the rail corridor. This specific mapping style allows researchers to see the actual vegetation patterns and alluvial fans as they existed during the 1971 field check, providing a visual depth that standard line maps often omit.
