2021 Map of Metropolis

About this map

Metropolis Cem remains as a focal point of local history in this corner of Elko County, marking the site of a community that once envisioned a different future for this high desert landscape. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Bishop Cr and Lower Bishop Cr, which flow toward the southern corridor where the Humboldt River shapes the valley floor. These waterways provided the vital irrigation for the agricultural efforts on Bishop Flats, an area where the grid of sections and rural tracks like Lower Metropolis Rd suggest a history of planned settlement and land use.
