1966 Map of Bald Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Sheldon Antelope National Refuge dominates this high-desert landscape in northern Washoe County, as it appeared in the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a remote environment managed for wildlife conservation, where human presence is marked by isolated landmarks like the Last Chance Ranch and an adjacent Landing Strip. The terrain is characterized by high peaks and ridges, including Bald Mountain, Mule Mountain, and Yellow Pk, which give way to seasonal water sources and livestock features such as Buck Pasture. The distribution of water is critical in this arid region, documented through numerous named springs such as Miller and Lux Spring, Hobble Springs, and Tuffy Springs. While much of the area is dedicated to the refuge and the Charles Sheldon Antelope Range, evidence of mineral exploration is visible at several Prospects located near Bald Mountain Canyon.
