Elko County's courthouse stands in Elko, the seat of a large, sparsely settled county in northeastern Nevada that borders Utah. The caption credits the picture to M.F. Jukes and notes a copyright, which points to a commercial view of the building rather than a documentary record. The caption card gives no date, so the exact year is uncertain, but county courthouses of this period in the American West were usually the most imposing public buildings in their towns, housing offices, records and court sessions. Notice how the building's size and setting signal local government's authority in a region shaped by ranching and mining.
