1957 Map of Wabuska
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Southern Pacific Railroad cuts a straight line through the high desert of the Mason Valley in this late 1950s survey. Industrial and agricultural development is concentrated along the Walker River, where an intricate network of irrigation projects like the Nichols-Merritt Ditch, Spragg Ditch, and Bewley Ditch support the local ranching economy. The map reveals layers of history at the Thompson Smelter (Site) and the Guild-Placer Mines in the Singatse Range, showing the area's transition from a mining hub to a more diversified landscape featuring the Yerington Municipal Airport and a Drive-in Theater.
