1955 Map of Winnemucca
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Humboldt River corridor defines this high-desert landscape during the mid-twentieth century, serving as the primary artery for both the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads. The map reveals a region transitioning from its early mining and ranching foundations toward larger-scale industrial operations, evidenced by the presence of the Blue Star Mine and Gold Quarry Mine in the east. Settlements like Winnemucca and Battle Mountain stand as vital hubs within a geography of alternating mountain ranges and broad valleys, including the Reese River Valley and Puwernekel Valley.
