1959 Map of Millett

About this map

The Reese River and Big Smoky Valley define the central axis of this landscape, marking a period in the late 1950s when ranching and mining dictated the distribution of life across Lander and Eureka counties. While the town of Austin serves as a primary hub along U.S. 50, much of the human footprint is scattered among isolated outposts like the Santa Fe Ranch, Iowa Creek Ranch, and the McCoy Mining Camp. The map reveals the industrial transition of the era, noting the Mount Hope Mine (Abandoned) and the presence of Tungsten. High elevation landmarks such as Mt Callahan and Summit Mt tower over the Toiyabe National Forest, while the Humboldt Salt Marsh occupies the low-lying alkali flats of Dixie Valley to the west. This survey provides a spatial record of the Great Basin’s interior before more modern infrastructure replaced these family-named rangeland sites.
