1957 Map of Wellington

About this map

The agricultural and mining heritage of Smith Valley is centered here between the Pine Nut Mountains and the Singatse Range. In the late 1950s, the irrigation network defining this landscape is clearly visible, with the Colony Ditch, Plymouth Canal, and Saroni Canal drawing water from the West Walker River to support settlements like Wellington and Smith. To the north, Artesia Lake and the Honker Duck Club sit below the Buckskin Range, while the surrounding slopes are dotted with industrial sites including the Ludwig Mine and Douglas Hill Mine. Traces of earlier infrastructure appear as an Old Railroad Grade and former town locations such as Delphi (Site) and Hudson (Site), providing essential evidence for researchers tracing the transition from early mining camps to the established ranching community of the mid-twentieth century.
