Industrial copper processing dominates the eastern edge of Steptoe Valley on this late 1950s survey. The town of McGill is depicted as a company settlement built around the massive Copper Smelter and Copper Mill, with the Nevada Northern railroad serving the heavy industrial corridor. The landscape is profoundly shaped by this mining activity, visible in the extensive Tailings Area and the Overflow Canal that divert water through the valley.
