1982 Map of Lages Station

About this map

Lages Station serves as a lone outpost at the junction of Highway 93 and a network of desert routes during the early 1980s. Located along the boundary of Elko and White Pine counties, the landscape transitions from flat valley floors to the intricate drainage systems of Water Canyon and Sampson Creek. This arid environment is defined by its vital water sources, including Willow Spring, Lone Cedar Spring, and Barrel Spring, which dictate the movement of people and livestock through the high desert. Industrial activity is concentrated in numerous prospects and gravel pits, while the presence of Landing Strips suggests the area's role as a remote transit point. A web of jeep trails branches out from the main thoroughfare, providing access to the more isolated springs and canyons that characterize this Great Basin terrain.
