1969 Map of Manhattan Mtn NW

About this map

The Reese River carves a path through this central Nevada landscape, tracing a route that historically dictated movement through the high desert. By the late 1960s, the terrain was marked by the remnants of earlier industrial infrastructure, most notably the Old Railroad Grade that parallels the river's eastern banks. This corridor shows a history of transit and resource extraction, with scattered prospects and gravel pits indicating mineral exploration in the surrounding hills. Water remains the primary constraint and focal point of the area, anchored by locations like Willow Creek Spring and the Gaging Station used to monitor the river's flow. While much of the land is accessed only by Jeep Trail, the presence of Bobtown Well suggests the localized infrastructure required to support life and livestock in this arid Basin and Range environment.
