1967 Map of Sodaville

About this map

Sodaville and the expansive Rhodes Salt Marsh dominate this high-desert landscape in central Nevada. The map captures an era of transition where early transportation corridors left their mark on the arid terrain, most notably through the Old Railroad Grade and various Jeep Trails that skirt the edges of the Pilot Mountains. To the south, Tonopah Junction serves as a reminder of the region's historical connectivity, while the designated Rhodes (Site) marks the location of a former settlement near the salt flats. Natural water sources like Soda Springs, Martin Spring, and a Flowing Well appear as vital landmarks in the Soda Spring Valley, punctuating a topography of Sand Dunes and Alkali Flat. The map also documents industrial activity through various Gravel Pits and Tailings piles, reflecting the area's mineral-driven economy.
