1967 Map of Loray

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Murdock Mountain and the Toano Range dominate this high-desert landscape in eastern Elko County. The map documents a critical transportation corridor where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the Tecoma Valley, flanked by the steep drainage of Loray Wash. The scarcity of water in this arid environment is evident by the reliance on specific points like Murdock Springs, Boyd Spring, and Cobre Well to support livestock and travelers. Industrial activity is visible through several Prospects and a Borrow Pit near the southern rail line. While largely open range, the presence of a Corral and numerous Jeep Trails and Pack Trails indicates an active era of ranching and exploration. A solitary Radio Tower stands as a modern landmark against the traditional landscape of Loray Draw and Immigrant Cr.
