1956 Map of Ackerman Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The borderlands between Eureka and Lander County are defined here by the high desert divide separating Grass Valley and Monitor Valley. Mapping conducted in the mid-1950s captures a landscape of isolated ranching outposts and mineral exploration, where water sources like Cottonwood Spring and Potato Canyon Spring dictated the placement of settlements. The presence of the Cooper Mine and a Prospect in the southwestern corner indicates the persistent search for ore in these mountains, while family names are preserved on landmarks such as Ferguson Ranch and Indian Ranch.
