1967 Map of Morgan Hill

About this map

The Humboldt River corridor dominates this high-desert landscape of Elko County, serving as the primary artery for both transportation and water. In the late 1960s, the valley floor shows a complex infrastructure network where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads parallel the river, supporting the ranching economy at River Ranch. The introduction of the River Ranch Interchange marks the modernization of regional travel during this period, connecting the river valley to the surrounding uplands.
