1956 Map of Oreana

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Humboldt River corridor defines this mid-century landscape in Pershing County, where the infrastructure of the Southern Pacific railroad parallels the waterway. A complex network of irrigation and industry is evident, from the Rye Patch Reservoir and Rye Patch Dam at the northern edge to the Crystal Lakes Trout Farm and several family-named homesteads such as Salinas Ranch and Cole Ranch. The map captures a moment when traditional ranching and large-scale water management intersected with the region's deep-rooted mining economy.
