1986 Map of Bartine Ranch NE

About this map

Old Pony Express Trail cuts across the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a path through the high desert of central Nevada in the mid-1980s. The terrain is dominated by the wide expanse of Kobe Valley, where seasonal drainage is managed by several stock tanks and natural water sources like Mud Spring. The drainage of Roberts Creek flows southward through the basin, providing a focal point for the cattle ranching operations that characterize the area. Near the historic trail, scattered Prospects indicate the region's enduring connection to mineral exploration. This survey provides a clear view of the ranching infrastructure and historical transportation corridors in Eureka County during a period of transition in the Great Basin.
