In 1881, McEntee traveled to Fort Halleck, Nevada to visit his sister, painting several views of the area, of which this is one. Fort Halleck was established in 1867 to protect the recent settlers in the area as well as the route of the Central Pacific Railway. The fort was named for Major General Henry W. Halleck. It was abandoned in 1886.
