1951 Map of Weber Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Weber Reservoir and the Weber Dam serve as the central hydraulic features in this mid-century western landscape, anchoring a complex network of arid valleys and high desert ranges. The Walker River snakes through Campbell Valley and Sunshine Flat, feeding the reservoir before continuing south through the Walker River Indian Reservation. This map captures the intersection of critical transit and water infrastructure, where the Southern Pacific railroad follows the river's path, cutting between the Desert Mountains and the Wassauk Range. Several scattered prospects indicate mineral exploration in the Calico Hills and near Russell Pass, reflecting the era's ongoing search for resources. The presence of Lateral Canal No 2 further illustrates the modification of the high desert for irrigation and settlement.
