About this map

The Humboldt River defines the central axis of this Pershing County landscape, where the town of Lovelock serves as a hub for both transportation and high-desert agriculture. Water management is the primary theme of the Upper Valley, shown through a complex network of irrigation infrastructure including the Old Channel Canal, Union Canal, and the Union Rodgers Canal. These waterways supported numerous agricultural operations identifiable by name, such as Munk Ranch, Circle L Ranch, and the Nevada Nile Copp Ranch.

Modern infrastructure follows the river's path, with the Lovelock Landing Strip and multiple highway junctions like the East Lovelock Interchange marking the town's role along the Interstate 80 corridor. Small named locales such as Kodak and Colado appear along the northern rail and road routes, while the Lovelock Post Office remains the civic center of the community. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from the irrigated valley floor to the surrounding terrain of the Fairview Slough.
