1987 Map of Weber Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Walker River Indian Reservation dominates this landscape in western Nevada, where the lifeblood of the valley, the Walker River, flows into the expansive Weber Reservoir. This 1980s era topography shows the crucial intersection of natural water resources and regional infrastructure, notably the Southern Pacific railroad line skirting the western and southern edges of the reservation. The terrain is defined by the dramatic rise of the Wassuk Range, which transitions into lowlands like Sunshine Flat and Campbell Valley. Extensive mining activity is evident along the mountain slopes, documented through numerous prospects, a Mine Shaft, and Adits near the southern boundary. These labels suggest a history of exploration and resource extraction in the high ground overlooking the reservoir. The map also delineates the county line between Lyon and Mineral counties, marking where administrative boundaries cross this arid, resource-rich basin.
