1956 Map of Wild Horse

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Wild Horse Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape in northeastern Nevada, where the Owyhee River and Wild Horse River converge. This mid-1950s survey captures a remote ranching and grazing frontier characterized by dispersed family holdings such as Vega Ranch, Doheny Ranch, and Stevens Ranch. The existence of the Harrison School and a landing strip speaks to the isolation of these communities, which relied on localized infrastructure before modern connectivity reached the interior of Elko County.
