1982 Map of Mizpah Point

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Nevada Northern railroad line cuts a straight diagonal through the high desert landscape of Elko County, tracing the western edge of the Goshute Valley. This 1982 map illustrates a region defined by its water sources and mining history, centered on the prominent rise of Mizpah Point. To the south, the Dolly Varden Mountains dominate the terrain, where a solitary Mine and various canyons like Corral Canyon and Crow Canyon suggest a history of resource extraction and livestock grazing. Practical infrastructure for ranching and transit is evident through the presence of a Corral and Mizpah Well 1727, while seasonal water features like Nelson Creek and North Creek provide the only breaks in the arid valley floor.
