1960 Map of Sloan

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor defines this high desert landscape south of Las Vegas at the start of the 1960s. The settlement at Sloan serves as a focal point for industrial activity, situated near extensive Quarries and a Gravel Pit. Further south, the map documents Erie and the dry expanse of Jean Lake, while the northern reaches include Arden and the former location of Bard (Site). The terrain transitions from the broad, flat reaches of Hidden Valley to the prominent peaks of the McCullough Range, including Black Mtn. This period of development is captured by notations of infrastructure Under Construction and the presence of a Radio Facility and multiple Towers, reflecting the early expansion of modern communication and transportation networks through the Nevada desert.
