1966 Map of Badger Mtn SE

About this map

The Charles Sheldon Antelope Range dominates this mid-1960s survey, a landscape defined by an intricate network of desert water sources and canyons. The Washoe Co Humboldt Co border runs through the heart of this high-altitude basin, where an Indefinite Boundary reflects the challenging nature of surveying this terrain. Life in this arid environment centered on named water features like Domingo Spring, Bateman Spring, and Wheeler Spring, which provided essential stops along the winding Jeep Trail and the established Badger Mountain Trail. A lone Prospect near Wall Canyon suggests the mineral exploration common to this era in northern Nevada. The drainage pattern is marked by dramatic features such as Wildcat Gorge and the confluence of Shoestring Valley Creek and Butcher Flat Creek, illustrating the seasonal waterflow that carved the high desert floor.
