1956 Map of Antelope Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates the western half of this 1950s landscape, centered on the high elevations of Antelope Peak and Summit Mtn. The terrain drops sharply eastward into the Antelope Valley, where a network of ephemeral drainages like Sullivan Wash and Antelope Wash define the ranching country of Eureka County. Ranching life is evident through the scattered sites of Willows Ranch, Ardans Ranch, and Morrison Ranch, situated near essential water sources like Artesian Well and Hot Spring. The land-use patterns of the era are visible in the grazing areas of Hickison Pasture, Kitchen Meadow, and Antelope Meadow. These named features, along with a series of mountain springs such as Dagget Spring and Hillside Springs, show how the high-desert economy of mid-century Nevada relied on these specific pockets of reliable water and meadowland.
