1939 Map of Sonoma Range

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Sonoma Range and Battle Mountain anchor this late 1930s survey of north-central Nevada, a landscape defined by its mining operations and deep-rooted ranching history. The transportation corridor follows the Humboldt River, where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads run parallel to the Victory Highway, serving settlements like Winnemucca, Golconda, and Valmy. The era's dependence on aviation is evident through the series of Airway Beacons positioned across the high terrain to guide early postal and commercial flights.
