About this map

Bartine Ranch and Shamrock Ranch anchor the high desert landscape of central Nevada in the mid-1950s. This survey of Kobe Valley and Antelope Valley reveals a region defined by scattered springs and strategic water access. A network of Jeep Trails and a primary Highway connect isolated outposts like Santa Fe and Kobe to the wider Eureka County area. Water sources are meticulously mapped, from the Artesian Wells near the main ranch to remote spots like Lone Mtn Spring and Mint Well.

Mining activity is concentrated around the prominent peak of Lone Mtn, where the Lone Mtn Mine and various Prospects are documented. The drainage system of Roberts Creek and Coils Creek cuts through the broad flats of Grubb Flat and Bean Flat, illustrating the drainage patterns of the Great Basin. These details provide a clear view of the ranching and prospecting infrastructure in place before modern developments altered the local character.
