1956 Map of Topaz Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Topaz PO and Coleville serve as primary hubs in this high-desert basin near the California-Nevada border. This mid-century study reveals a landscape defined by the water management of Topaz Lake, noting areas of controlled inundation and the intricate network of the Walker River and Swager Ditch. The map details the transition from the steep terrain of the Toiyabe National Forest down into the Antelope Valley, where human settlement and irrigation concentrated. Early automotive travel is anchored by Holbrook Junc and Mountain House, marking key intersections for those navigating the eastern Sierra slope before the era of modern highway expansion.
