1939 Map of Sonoma Range

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Humboldt River corridor dominates this 1930s landscape, serving as the primary artery for the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads. Centered on the town of Winnemucca, the map reveals a high-desert economy driven by sprawling cattle ranches and intensive mineral extraction. Mining operations are scattered across the ranges, from the Copper Canyon Mine and Galena Mine in the east to the Manganese Mines in the Sonoma Range. Local history is preserved through labels like the Site of Old Indian Fort and the solitary Pearce Sch. Remote outposts such as Seven Devils Ranch and Ellison Ranch illustrate the isolation of Basin and Range life before modern infrastructure bypassed many of these early settlements.
