1960 Map of Lund
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Wheeler Peak 13063 dominates the eastern horizon of this Great Basin landscape, where the Snake Range meets the Nevada-Utah border. The map documents a mid-century period of cattle ranching and hard-rock mining, centered on settlements like Lund and the Whipple Ranch. Industrial activity is evident at the Tungsten Queen Mine and the Abbott Mine, while the vast Railroad Valley and White River Valley provide the primary corridors for movement. Transport follows the historic Grand Army of the Republic Highway, linking remote outposts such as Garrison and Baker. This area is defined by its repetitive basin-and-range structure, with the Schell Creek Range and Egan Range creating distinct north-south valleys where vital water sources like Blue Eagle Springs and Warm Springs Ranch supported early settlers and livestock.
