1956 Map of Oreana

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Humboldt River corridor dominates this mid-century survey, serving as the vital artery for transportation and industry through the Nevada desert. The Southern Pacific railroad follows the river's path, connecting small rail stops and ranching hubs like Rye Patch, Oreana, and Woolsey. The landscape is a study in water management and extraction, from the Rye Patch Reservoir and Rye Patch Dam Spillway in the north to the Upper Valley Canal and Taylor Canal system that irrigates the southern valley floor near Young Ranch.
