1969 Map of Rox

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash carves a critical corridor through the Bunker Hills in this desert region of Lincoln County. The Union Pacific railroad alignment dictates the placement of small sidings and settlements like Hoya and Rox, where infrastructure such as a Water Tank and several survey benchmarks indicate the importance of the rail line to the local economy. The landscape is marked by resource exploration and material extraction, evidenced by a Borrow Pit and multiple sites labeled Prospect. These features, connected by a network of primitive paths including a Jeep Trail, reveal the industrial footprint of mining and transportation in a remote Nevada interior. The proximity of water sources like a Well suggest the logistical challenges of maintaining a railroad presence in this arid valley during the late 1960s.
