1987 Map of West of Lovelock

About this map

The Trinity Range dominates the western horizon of this high-desert landscape in Pershing County, Nevada. To the east, the terrain transitions into a complex network of agricultural and industrial water management, including the Old Channel Canal and several irrigation channels such as Upper Taylor Ditch and Lower Taylor Ditch. This 1980s-era survey highlights the intersection of the region's transport history and extractive industries, featuring the Old Toll Road winding through the foothills while numerous prospects and gravel pits dot the valley floor. Near the Southern Pacific line, the small settlement of Perth and the Big Meadow Pit provide evidence of the local infrastructure supporting Nevada's railway and mining economy. Genealogists may find interest in the documented locations of Lone Mtn Cem and another cemetery situated near Lone Mountain.
