1953 Map of Spruce Mtn 4

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Spruce Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in eastern Elko County, rising sharply between Independence Valley to the west and a high desert basin to the east. The map documents a specific era of Nevada's industrial geography, notably the path of the Nevada Northern railroad as it skirts the eastern base of the range near Nelson. Small settlements and rail stops like Dolly Varden and Hogan represent the remote outposts of the mid-century mining and ranching economy.
