1968 Map of Scottys Junction

About this map

Sarcobatus Flat dominates this high-desert landscape in Nye County, showing the intersection of transit and topography in the late 1960s. The small settlement of Scottys Junction serves as the focal point, positioned where highways meet the expansive basin floor. Evidence of the region’s earlier infrastructure is preserved in the form of an Old Railroad Grade running through the northwestern sector, while the eastern portion of the map is defined by the high elevations of Pahute Mesa and the boundary of the Nellis Air Force Range.
