1956 Map of Toulon

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Humboldt Sink and the vast expanse of Humboldt Lake dominate this mid-century landscape in the Nevada desert. This 1956 survey records the industrial and agricultural activity sustained by the Southern Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to the waterway. Near the settlement of Toulon, the presence of millponds and tailings points to the processing of ore from regional operations like the Coon Can Mines. The map documents a period when aviation was gaining prominence in the Great Basin, evidenced by the Airway Beacon and Derby Field.
