1969 Map of Vigo NE

About this map

Meadow Valley Mts dominate this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where the topography transitions into the deep cuts of Vigo Canyon. In a region defined by its aridity, the presence of the Avertt Reservoir stands out as a critical water management feature for the era. The survey depicts a terrain primarily accessed by a network of Jeep Trails, illustrating the isolation of this corner of Nevada in the late 1960s. These trails snake through the drainages and over the ridges, providing the only infrastructure through the complex mountain and canyon systems that define the Vigo NE quadrangle.
