1967 Map of Pilot Peak NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the high desert of Elko County, anchoring the small siding of Loray against the stark basin and range topography. This 1967 survey documents a landscape defined by the search for water and minerals, where the Tecoma Valley and Pilot Creek Valley meet the rising slopes of the Toano Range. A scattered network of vital water sources, including the Noble Well 5148, Montello Well No 1, and the Highway Well No 78 (Dry), illustrates the logistical challenges of this arid environment during the late 1960s. At the southern edge, a single Mine and various gravel pits indicate the area's geological utility, while a lone Radio Facility and a complex Aqueduct system represent the mid-century infrastructure supporting the remote northeast corner of Nevada.
