1967 Map of Montello
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Montello serves as a critical rail siding and crossroads in this late 1960s survey of eastern Elko County. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape, paralleled by a notable aqueduct and the wide Loray Wash. This corridor was essential for movement through the high desert, supported by localized infrastructure like the Montello Landing Field and various Borrow Pits that likely provided materials for rail and road maintenance. To the north, the Gamble Ranch and its associated Gamble Ranch Landing Strip indicate a landscape dominated by large-scale ranching operations. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Thousand Springs Creek and numerous smaller watercourses such as Charley Creek and Hoppie Creek that emerge from Gamble Canyon, illustrating the hydrological patterns of Tecoma Valley.
