1969 Map of Vigo NE

About this map

The Meadow Valley Mts dominate the northwestern portion of this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where the terrain transitions into complex drainages and canyons. Significant for its water management in an arid environment, the Avertt Reservoir sits tucked within the western slopes, likely serving local ranching or wildlife needs of the late 1960s. To the south, Vigo Canyon cuts through the desert floor, providing a natural corridor through the difficult topography. The network of several paths marked as Jeep Trail suggests a region defined by limited access and utilitarian travel, typical of the remote Nevada interior during this period of geological study.
