1956 Map of Tuscarora

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Tuscarora sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, surrounded by the clear remnants of a mining economy that shaped northern Elko County. The map documents numerous mining operations scattered across the hills, including the Commonwealth Mine, Queen Mine, and Navajo Mine, alongside several unidentified Prospects. This industrial legacy is contrasted by the established livestock operations on the valley floor, evidenced by the Spanish Ranch and Quarter Circle S Ranch. The South Fork Owyhee River and its many tributaries, such as McCann Creek and Taylor Creek, define the drainage of the Independence Valley. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Humboldt National Forest, where high peaks like Jacks Peak and Wheeler Mtn overlook a complex system of canyons. Small-scale features such as the local Cem, a Water Tank, and a Landing Strip near the town center provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
