2018 Map of Metropolis

About this map

The Metropolis Cem serves as a lone marker of the early twentieth-century agricultural community that once attempted to bloom in this part of Elko County. Situated near Bishop Flats, the landscape is defined by the convergence of several drainages, including Bishop Cr, Trout Cr, and Burnt Cr, which flow toward the southern valley. This 2018 survey illustrates the modern transportation and hydrographic network, showing how the Humboldt River shapes the southern reaches of the quadrangle near the settlements of Alazon and Tulasco. The presence of the Lower Metropolis Rd and various BLM RD routes reflects the area's ongoing use for ranching and public land access. Genealogists and local historians can use these contemporary coordinates to locate family sites and historical landmarks within the traditional township and range divisions, such as t39n r61e.
