1967 Map of Montello Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Montello Canyon and its surrounding drainage systems dominate this Elko County landscape, reflecting the essential role of water management in the Great Basin. This mid-century survey documents a network of isolated water sources such as Montello Springs, Hoppie Basin Spring, and Hoppie Basin Well, which likely served as critical stops for livestock and early travelers. The presence of Immigrant Canyon suggests a historical corridor used by westward-moving parties, while a series of named ravines like Wildhorse Canyon, Charley Canyon, and Gamble Canyon carve through the high-elevation terrain. A singular Jeep Trail provides the only recorded access through Hoppie Basin, emphasizing the sparse development and utilitarian nature of the land at the time of the survey.
