1956 Map of Mt. Grant

About this map

The Wassuk Range dominates this mid-century western Nevada landscape, rising sharply between the East Walker River valley and the western shores of Walker Lake. This era shows a transition in land use, where high-altitude peaks like Mt Grant and Pike Peak overlook a mix of agricultural and military holdings. The eastern slopes are defined by the Naval Reservation Boundary, while the western lowlands feature the Flying M Ranch and the East Walker School, providing a rare look at the sparse rural infrastructure of Mineral County during the 1950s.
