1967 Map of Valley Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Valley Pass serves as a critical geographic notch through the high terrain of Elko County, providing a corridor for the Southern Pacific railroad as it traverses the expansive Goshute Valley. The landscape is defined by the massive presence of Murdock Mountain to the northeast, which looms over the railroad alignment. A notable historical point is the Toano (Site), once a significant station on the first transcontinental railroad route, now indicated here as a site with an associated Cem and Toano Draw. The transition from the rugged mountain slopes to the valley floor is marked by essential infrastructure for the steam and diesel era, including a Well and multiple water tanks located along the rail line to support transit through this arid high-desert environment.
