1968 Map of Tobar

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Western Pacific railroad corridor dominates this high-desert basin in Elko County, defining the development of small sidings and junctions like Tobar and Ruby. Situated within the Clover Valley (Depression), the landscape is characterized by its internal drainage systems and low-lying alkali flats, where seasonal water is traced through the Slough, Steele Creek, and Johnson Creek. To the east, the topography rises sharply into the Wood Hills, providing a stark contrast to the valley floor. Evidence of the region's transport and industrial infrastructure is visible in the scattered Borrow Pits, a navigation Beacon, and the prominent Mound that rises from the flat basin. This survey documents a remote ranching and rail landscape where water management and railroad operations were the primary drivers of human presence.
