2012 Map of Tobar

About this map

Tobar (Historical) stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Elko County, situated on the expansive Tobar Flat. This modern geospatial record documents a region shaped by intermittent water and transport corridors, where the winding path of The Slough and drainages like Flat Cypress Cr and Steele Cr cross the arid basin. Near the historical townsite, a Post Office and the utility-focused Rrmaint Rd indicate the enduring infrastructure associated with the rail corridor through eastern Nevada. Further north, the settlement of Ruby and landmarks such as The Mound provide additional geographic context to this sparsely populated territory, illustrating the persistent but thin footprint of human activity in the Great Basin at the start of the twenty-first century.
