About this map

Wells Peak stands as the central landmark in this Elko County landscape, anchoring the northern reaches of the Windermere Hills. The late 1960s terrain is defined by a critical corridor of western transportation, where the tracks of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads run parallel through the high desert. This infrastructure highlights the historical importance of the region as a transit artery across the Great Basin.
