1957 Map of Sutcliffe

About this map

Sutcliffe sits on the western shore of Pyramid Lake, serving as a focal point within the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation in the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the deep water of the lake to the high desert peaks of the Pah Rah Range and Dogskin Mountain. Infrastructure of the era is represented by the Southern Pacific railroad line skirting the shoreline, providing a vital link through this arid corridor.
