1962 Map of Ryndon

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Humboldt River carves a critical path through the high desert of Elko County, dictating the development of transportation and small settlements in this Nevada landscape. By the early 1960s, the corridor through Osino Canyon supported two major rail lines, the Southern Pacific and the Western Pacific, which follow the river's bend toward the settlement of Ryndon. This map illustrates the transition from mid-century rail dominance to the arrival of modern infrastructure, with the Ryndon Interchange on Highway 80 providing new access points for local travelers. To the south, Elko Mtn rises sharply over the valley floor, while a network of water sources like Sustacha Spring and Coal Mine Creek emphasize the precious nature of water in this arid environment. Industrial activity is noted through scattered Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit near the river fork.
