1969 Map of Ash Springs

About this map

Pahranagat Valley serves as the central corridor of this Nevada landscape, where the settlement of Ash Springs acts as a primary focal point at the base of the towering Hiko Range. This 1969 field check reveals a remote desert environment defined by water sources and industrial markings, including Brownie Spring to the west and several resource extraction sites like a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit. The map captures the infrastructure of the late 1960s, showing a rugged network of travel routes such as the Jeep Trail winding through the terrain. To the east, the topography becomes significantly more complex near Table Top Mtn and the evocatively named Hells Half Acre. A site marked simply as Ruins further south in the valley offers a specific point of interest for those studying the physical remnants of earlier habitation in Lincoln County.
