1971 Map of Bailey Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Muleshoe Valley and Dry Lake Valley define the arid, open landscape of this 1971 survey. The drainage network is characterized by ephemeral watercourses, primarily Coyote Wash and its namesake Bailey Wash, which carve through the valley floor. The map illustrates a high-desert environment with minimal permanent infrastructure, where movement is limited to a singular Jeep Trail that snakes across the terrain. This topography reflects a specific era of Western land management where accessibility was primarily for resource exploration or ranching rather than settlement. The lack of towns or developed roads emphasizes the remote nature of this portion of Lincoln County during the early 1970s, serving as a baseline for those studying the environmental history and land use patterns of Nevada's interior basins.
