1956 Map of Ackerman Canyon

About this map

Santa Fe Ranch and Ferguson Ranch anchor the high desert landscape of central Nevada during the mid-1950s. This survey of the Ackerman Canyon quadrangle captures a remote ranching economy defined by isolated homesteads and essential water sources such as Potato Canyon Spring and Cottonwood Spring. The terrain transitions from the wide expanses of Grass Valley and Bean Flat into the steep ridges of the Simpson Park Mountains, where several peaks and benchmarks like VABM 8692 Park and Vabm 6416 are recorded.
